What is the truth?

Today people seem to think that if you say something over and over again it is the truth, or it will be the truth.
Well something caught my eye in yesterday's (January 23, 2011) PittsburghPost-Gazette, the headline:
Experts doubt claims the health care law is a 'job killer'
Whoa, I know better, in fact just this past week I got an e-mail from my Congressman telling me it is so. So I read on. The "fact" that the health care bill is a job's killer comes from a study by the NFIB, National Federation of Independent Business. Double whoa, I know these guys, in fact I was a long time member of the NFIB before I retired. Good people who do a lot for the Small Business community.
The problem appears that the NFIB's statement comes following a study released Jan. 28, 2009, well before the health care law was written. "It's old. We don't use it anymore because it was based upon a hypothetical mandate," NFIB spokeswoman Stephanie Cathhart said.
The bottom line according to the newspaper story is that we just don't know yet, but the "experts" they interviewed do not believe so.
So everyone has an expert, experts voice opinion, not fact, about what will happen. It pays to go back to the fact that started the truth.

Sort of reminds me of what I read in the continuing law suits and appeals filed against the Borough and St. Clair Development. Thank goodness the courts have seen through the 'facts' and found the 'truth'.
