I liked the quote..."The CBO has been gamed so much it's useless".
That is so true..no matter what Congress gives the CBO good numbers are the end result.
Even with the US Government taking over funding all student loans..we're still coming out reducing the deficit.
the CBO hasnt even scored the reconsiliation bill yet,,,they even posted on thier site that they are not sure if they can get the scoring done by sunday(the day of the supposed vote)...
It is a blatant lie because botox Nancy is already saying that there will not be decreases to doctors in the final bill. The billion dollar savings are coming from where?
Yeah, they've been scoring something.... but didn't that Pelosi dame say something like 'we've got to pass the bill so we'll know what's in it?'

In other words, the overall numbers were never going to miss the mark. Whenever the budget office judged that some element or elements of the bill would cause a problem meeting the cost and deficit-reduction targets, Democrats just adjusted the underlying legislation to make sure it would hit their goal.
Of course not. She would then have to admit she has been duped, once again.

They take what the democrats have given them, assumptions and promises to cut/save/tax. Pelosi and Reid have so corrupted the gaming of the CBO with these false promises/assumptions, it is bordering on worthless.
People only see what they want to see. You rather pay insane premiums and be denied insurance because you think we are paying it with taxes. Ok...so we are. Our taxes pay for other things like WAR...don't see you crying about that! Enough with the crying and ranting...PASS HEATLH CARE REFORM NOW!
We have experienced many times in our country's history, the right's attempt to derail PROGRESS. They did it with the Civil Rights Bill and other historic bills.
Sorry Republicans...you are not going to stop progress this time. You will be on the WRONG side of history yet once again!
