Checking the Math on Health Care March 19, 2010, 7:21 pm By TOBIN HARSHAW opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com ============================================================= ... Also, this one added comment, (listed as comment #5), down from the "comments" portion at the bottom of this one article, that seems fairly important to note: Tobin, you got a big fact wrong. You claim that $53 billion of the savings for the reconciliation bill in the CBO analysis comes from social security revenues, but it doesn't. Table 1, page 6 of the report, footnote C below the table clearly states that NO SOCIAL SECURITY REVENUES are included in any of the $53 billion in off-budget savings. They attribute the $53 billion in off budget savings only as coming from affects of the legislation relating to the post office. Footnote 2 on page 2 also clearly states that the reconciliation act states, by law, that all social security gains must be transferred to the social security trust fund. Even if you are quoting someone else, by not correcting their BIG error you are misleading your readers. Don't take my word for it, read the facts here: cbo.gov
