Not at all, its pointing out the truth. The way the bill interacts with the CBO rules, gives a distorted and unrealistic score. Almost certainly this was intentional (thus the "gaming the system), but in the minute chance that it wasn't it would still be giving a misleading impression, even if it wasn't "gaming" anything.

You call "deficit reduction" "gaming the system" when it's the Dems. How phony is that? You would have them raise the deficit, a bad thing for the country, so that you would have a better argument. Since they made good economic decisions you have to couch it in insidious terms "gaming the system". That's political hack stuff.

Bush didn't "game the system" with the drug benefit or two wars, he put it directly onto the credit card. The Dems are being fiscally responsible and you attack them for it.
