You 33 percenters are going to have to decide whether you rely on Politifact for good fact-checking or not. You want to know what Politifact considers the "Lie Of The Year"?

No, I don't believe PolitiFact, but I'd favor a government takeover of healthcare in the US. Just this week, a cardiolgist told me that I needed to undergo a stress test, so I check on the cost. I expected it to be less than $1000 but--suprise, surprise--it was $7300! Absolutely outrageous! At prices like these, it's easy to see how health care could account for 20% of the American economy.

And by the way, I decided not to have the test. This never ending trent of being milked by the health care industry must stop!
