The Lies of Congress

The CBO gets its hands on a copy of the Senate health care bill today and I expect its scoring of it will be well under a trillion. With the CBO in Obama's hip-pocket, the massive shell game being played (one that would send any of us to prison were we to do the same with our taxes) and these new compromises, it's not hard to understand that on paper Obama's bill will be laughably "deficit neutral".

But when one considers that the taxation to pay for this usurpation of freedom starts now (three years before the "benefits" kick in), that the compromise reached by dems (which is a faster track to single payer than the public option) requires certain folks to "buy-in" to Medicare and that there will be annual limits (i.e. rationing), it's no wonder that the score will appear low.

But don't believe the lie. When you have a government that, in order to sell you something, grades tax revenue statically instead of dynamically, you know that they have something to hide.

Congress, we know what you're doing. Now it's time to stop.
