House GOP appallingly votes to conceal cost of Obamacare repeal to taxpayers - Shareblue

Congressmen inserted language to specifically exclude the ACA repeal from their usual 10-year fiscal assessment done by the Congressional Budget Office. In 2015 they projected it would increase the deficit by $353 billion.

What do you think they're trying to hide? I think they've all ran their elections on the lie that they're going to save us money and they don't want the embarrassment of being proven wrong.

Well, being that their proposed budget will put us Trillions of dollars in Debt I am sure a couple of billion can be hiding in there somewhere. The sad part is so many Cons do not realize that if the Debt and spending is going up and taxes are going to be reduced, for the rich and businesses, then that leaves them and the rest of middle income Americans holding the bill. Yes, Good Times are a coming

I found this particularly interesting about this alleged $353 billion deficit that repealing the ACA would cause.


“While CBO’s report notes that the deficit impact of repealing the law is highly uncertain, and could even reduce the deficit, it does show that repealing this law will boost nationwide employment and grow the economy,” Enzi said in a statement.

Good idea.

If the repeal cost so much as $1 the screaming would never stop. You cannot stop a myth with a fact, and you cannot satisfy anyone who did not vote for Trump. So the Republican legislature is not going to try.

So just sit in the back seat and watch the scenery.
