More on the deficit impact of Obamacare

I have no idea, but I trust the CBO a lot more than a partisan with an agenda who is making demonstrably argumentative mathematical assumptions so as to justify politically - motivated conclusions.



What is wrong with the CBO math ?

Don't cut and paste something. Prove you understand it by explaining their error.

If you trust the CBO more then you also must trust where they agree that it is double counting. The original scoring was done with the assumptions put forward by the bill - they have to work with what they are given. When later asked to analyze with the double counting they agreed it is double counting and the calculus changes.

Again, that argument would apply to all proposals of reform. The result would be never to cut anything because, what's the point ?

The point is to actually make cuts from the base line, not to project spending savings above the base line and call them cuts.....ie: the budget was for 5 million, we only spent 3 million so we can call that a savings when it is not a cut in the budget just money not spent from a budget that has a built in increase every year...... It is a shell game that the uneducated fall for.
