>> Looks like according to the CBO the Finance committee bill lowers the deficit.

The analysis is very problematic.

There is something about it that doesn't make a lot of sense. Notably, that this insane legislation has a "cost" of $800B while purportedly cutting the deficit? Uh-uh.

One has to wonder whether CBO caved to the pressure from Obama to take into account future "savings" that obviously aren't going to materialize.

If Bush had called the head of CBO in for a little chit-chat, these f*cking liberals would have been all over him.

The CBO's track record needs to be looked at.

The CBO wrote last summer that bailing out Fannie and Freddie would cost $25B. But they have revised their analysis since and now it's $300B.

The analysis is baloney but even were it valid there are loads of other good reasons to oppose Obamacare.
