....The CBO says that Healthcare Reform will shrink the Debt....
Garbage In... Garbage Out. Simple as that.
Easy to say. I wouldn't listen to a word you had to say without seeing:
#1. A resume' with proven accolades in the fields necessary to create an informed opinion on a budgetary analysis.
#2. A report of your own refuting their findings.
Everything else is "mee fling poo poo at zee bad guys...uh hurrrr" and giggling with your opposition buddies.
Let's pretend that you somehow scientifically come to your conclusions for a day, USMB. K?
However, I heard a strategist say the following and I need to paraphrase:
"If a plan is submitted to the CBO by Congress and in it is an item that says 'at the end of the 5th year, there will be a pot of gold that simply appears out of thin air and the gold will offset any costs to that point', the CBO must incorporate that into their final analysis."
Now, if this is true, do any of us know what was presented by congress to the CBO?
For example, did the information assume prosperity and therefore an increase in tax revenue? Did it assume a stagnant economy?
Does anyone know?
And I am asking who knows. Not who wants to make believe they know, so a valid link would be appreciated.
Thanks.
