The Congressional Budget Office has doubled the estimated increases of some costs resulting from the sweeping health care reform legislation passed this year.
A CBO report sent Tuesday to Rep. Jerry Lewis of California, the ranking Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, said the estimated rise in discretionary spending - which is spending requiring annual congressional authorization - over the first 10 years under the new legislation could exceed $115 billion.
On March 11, exactly two months earlier, the non-partisan CBO reported the estimated increase for discretionary spending could exceed $55 billion.

“How many lies...”
As many as the Alphabet networks and print media tell them.
Double the estimate three or four times more and you might get close to the actual cost.
CBO, they name is mud.
Pelosi - “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it...”
Indeed
Heck...nobody would have seen that coming, eh?
Obamacare is going to work out every bit as well as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
What absolute liars, void of all integrity.
Where is the accountability?
NOVEMBER... IMPEACH!

We need to pass this bill, so the American people will know what is in it.
My prayer is that we get a new Congress with the guts to impeach this clown and then TRY HIM FOR TREASON.
“the non-partisan CBO”
AMEN!
Now you are talking!

The Stupak contingent, in addition to caving in to the Obama fig leaf exec. order on abortion funding, cited reduced costs as a reason for their voting for Obamacare.
That rationale is being eroded week by week. I hope Republican challengers hold their feet to the fire over this. Those Democrats were either duped themselves or else they duped their constituents, neither or which is acceptable for someone who wants a congressional seat.
