The only way you would have sources for your own opinion was if your opinion was determined by someone else's opinion. Mine isn't. But at this point, all you have is your opinion I have my opinion, and argument behind it. You have your opinion, and someone else's opinion that agrees with you. which essentially states that you think the bill is bad, just because you think the bill is bad. No I give you reasons why I think its bad. You don't give reasons, or proof (despite claiming you do), or even much in the way of argument, you just present an opinion that agrees with your own, but without providing any backing for it. Conversation is better served by examining and discussing ideas, not by playing the "find an expert who agrees with me and consider their opinion definitive" game. If I wanted to play that game I could come out with some other expert and post there figure, I wouldn't have to even look beyond this thread, for example others have posted the numbers from a former CBO head that suggest much higher costs for the program. (and those post included the actual reasoning behind the numbers or at least some of it, rather than just posting a number with no support and claiming that its source should result in it being accepted as reality.
