CAll on Double Counting
Paul Ryan R Wisc ^

Posted on 03/19/2010 7:15:12 AM PDT by RWGinger

Paul Ryan. R Wi asked Obama during the summit how Dems can double count certain areas and still pretend this obamacare is deficit neutral. 0bama of course did not answer.

Today all Freepers should call any and all Dem Congresspple's offices and ask how the congressperson explains double counting.

If a staffer pretends they don't know what double counting is tell them they should know and to google it.

Here is Ryan's explanation of the areas Dems are double counting to pretend this bill will reduce deficit "So they're cutting a half a trillion out of Medicare. That's supposed to go to Medicare and make it solvent. But they're using it instead as a piggy bank to pay for this new program. So they're taking it from Medicare, but at the same time they're claiming they're extending Medicare's solvency. So they're counting those cuts twice, when in fact they're using this money to create a new entitlement. Then they have all these tax increases, which the dollars for these tax increases are already spoken for for Social Security, for this new entitlement, for long-term care called the CLASS Act which are spoken for those programs. But they're counting it to fund this new program. So they're basically saying"

CALL CALL CALL

If we all call they can't ignore it

obama's response to ryan was typical. he changed the subject. then he questioned the motives of the questioner . . . "you are trying to make political points", or something along those lines.

it's SOP with these people; when you ask the obamites a hard question, they ignore it and accuse you of base motivation. and that especially applies to that greasy press secretary, robert gibbs.
