If there’s one major issue that gets in the way of fixing things in Washington it’s that there’s too much emphasis on beating up the other party first and worrying about the facts second. So far this year, there’s no proposal that has been hit with more lies and political spin than the House budget plan.

CARPE DIEM: How About Europe Learning from Mississippi?
"The story you hear all the time about Europe — of a stagnant economy in which high taxes and generous social benefits have undermined incentives, stalling growth and innovation — bears little resemblance to the surprisingly positive facts. The real lesson from Europe is actually the opposite of what conservatives claim: Europe is an economic success, and that success shows that social democracy works. The European economy works; it grows; it’s as dynamic, all in all, as our own." The BEA recently released data for the amount of GDP produced by U.S. states in 2010, which allows for a updated comparison of output per capita in U.S. states to European countries (and Japan and Canada), see table below (international countries are adjusted for PPP). Key findings:
1.The European Union as a group ($32,700 GDP per capita in 2010) ranks below America's poorest state, Mississippi ($32,764).

The Rise and Fall of the South Carolina Democratic Party | MyFDL
A number of blacks were elected to state and federal office; it’s probable that many of the Republicans in the State House of Representatives were black. This enraged whites in South Carolina. When President Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction and withdrew federal troops, they quickly gained control of South Carolina politics. The black vote was systemically crushed, and along with it the Republican Party.

Wasserman Schultz’s bogus claim that the GOP Medicare plan will ‘throw you to the wolves’ - The Fact Checker - The Washington Post
Wasserman Schultz did not say voucher, but her statement suggests that people would be handed a check (“X number of dollars”) and then have to go out and find a plan that they can afford. She also said the plan would “allow insurance companies to deny you coverage and drop you for pre-existing conditions.”
Neither of those claims are true. The system as envisioned by Republicans would operate much like the Medicare prescription drug plan currently does. The government would not give people a check or anything like that; the government would handle the funds, just as they do under the drug plan. As the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said when it examined the plan, “The premium support payments would go directly from the government to the plans that people selected.”
