Ted, > What would be the CBO's motivation.....they are non partisan?

It's not the CBO twisting the numbers. It's the authors of the bill. The CBO is obligated to report on the numbers as they are represented in the bill's particulars.

We've been over this before:

You tried to excuse it by claiming that the revenues should be built up before the benefits, but that explanation only makes sense if the bill is going to expire in ten years>


It seems to me that it makes sense to build up revenues to insure that the bill doesn't run up debt the first year its in operation. Whether it will run up debt after 10, 15 or 20 years is yet to be seen. You are assuming it will.....thats your nature......it doesn't come as a surprise. And the frustrating part about it is that it will be very hard to calculate the cost benefits it does create because those are difficult to measure.

Having said all that, its a crime that the wealthiest country in the world does not have universal health care. That has changed.....thank the good Lord.
