How does $940B save anything? That is a cost, not a savings!

Re: "It doesn't matter, according to the CBO the savings over the next ten years amounts to 18 days worth of spending for the government..."

And, the C.B.O. *also* projected that over the TEN YEARS AFTER THAT (once the full effects of the reform plan have been in effect for a couple of years) that reduce the federal deficits by $1.2 Trillion in that second decade:

According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill cuts deficits by $130 billion in the first 10 years, and up to $1.2 trillion in the second 10 years

Versus the alternative of doing nothing on health care reform and seeing federal deficits increase by those amounts....
