We need dynamic SPENDING scoring. The next time the CBO puts out some bullsh_t projection for how much a new entitlement like Obamacare costs, multiply it by 10. The CBO is horrible at projecting tax policy revenue, but its absolutely criminal how bad they are at projecting spending program costs.

This. $7.5 trillion in debt over the last six years tells us that the “static scoring” system is a total crock of you know what.

Can they go back and re-project the costs of Obamacare?
