829 billion dollars

[PatekPhilippe]

CBO: Health care bill to cost $829 billion.

Here's the boom-POW!!!!

The Congressional Budget Office added that the measure would reduce federal deficits by $81 billion over a decade and probably lead to "continued reductions in federal budget deficits" in the years beyond.

Notice the CBO doesn't mention anything about the national debt......which is where Congress will borrow money to pay for this program....and guess what....there will be across the board tax hikes for ALL Americans.

Hmmmmmmmm.

 

[PatekPhilippe]

not to mention that this bill isn't even out of committee yet and it's already being LOADED WITH PORK!!!!

Obama promised that the health reform bill would not add "one cent" to our deficit. He will either have to VETO this bill (assuming it even gets that far) or he will be just another LIAR.

$829 Billion? Yea that means more like $2 Trillion. You can always at least double what the Government claims they're going to spend. Just another sad Socialist scam.

Exactly. The thing is...all he has to do is borrow money from the treasury to say..."See...look...I didn't add a single dime to the budget deficit."

All the while our National Debt increases another 2 trillion dollars and takes away from our children.

Lessee.. that's eleven trillion eight hundred twenty nine dollars we do not have.

 

[Oddball]

Yeah.....Deficit neutral.

 

[rightwinger]

Less than the cost of two wars over ten years

At least we have our priorities straight

 

[Oddball]

Still not deficit neutral...Which is what was promised.

But I guess as long as the guy breaking promises and exploding spending has that (D) by his name, all is just peace and patchouli oil.

 

[Mad Scientist]

I'm not worried at all, the Fed can just print more money to cover it. And
besides, we have an Ace in the Hole:

Barack Hussein Obama! Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm!

The difference is we have something to show for the war: Dead Terrorists.
What will we have for Health Care: Endless Deficits!

Yeah...your priorities are right if you are running on a campaign of lying, stealing and conning America.....Obama, change you can believe in.

Anyone see the movie "Dead Zone"?

Hmmmmmmmm.

Actually, the debt is mentioned in the CBO report. Because of the new revenue streams in the bill, it actually decreases the deficit by 81 billion over ten years.

This bill reduces the deficit by 81 billion over the scoring window...

Wanna buy a bridge?

How is a bill which reduces the deficit violating a promise that the bill would not increase the deficit?

 

[Oddball]

It would have to be you who'd be as big a gullible sap to believe that more gubmint would equal less spending!!

You're killin' me over heah!!

 

[DiamondDave]

By having an added (among other things) 40% tax against chosen other health care insurances... hmm.. trying to eliminate private competition and have the government take over the industry??? Hmmmm.... what is that word on the tip of my tongue again???
