However, just to state a data point. The CBO has scored the Senate bill and has said it will reduce the deficits by $128B over 10 years. Then, i take it you believe in fairytales, and don't mind smoke and mirrors. The smoke and mirrors are taking out $200B "gift" to doctors, taking it back in 2011. Meaning $200B of current cost has been taking out of the bill. The $200B will still be spent, but under separate legislation. It is taxing 10 years, spending 6. The fairytale is that there will be a 23% cut in rate paid to doctors in 2011. (after the $200B has run out). It is fairytale that they can reduce the growth of spending to 2%, after trying and failing to do the same for 40 years... But the CBO is the best thing we have to an unbiased opinion, versus yours which is clearly biased and vacant of any detailed analysis of the bill. CBO is given the smoke and mirrors + fairytales as inputs. They produce and output based on these inputs. Technically, they (CBO) may be right on their process. But if garbage went in, garbage came out.
