Every 'yes' vote needs to go, no matter what they've done before or since the vote.
... And number four, this is the biggest reduction in our deficit since the Budget Balance Act -- one of the biggest deficit reduction measures in history -- over $1.3 trillion that will help put us on the path of fiscal responsibility.
... And by the way, not only does it reduce the deficit -- we pay for it responsibly in ways that the other side of the aisle that talks a lot about fiscal responsibility but doesn't seem to be able to walk the walk can't claim when it comes to their prescription drug bill.

Well suppose you promised a new entitlement to the poor and lower middle class funded by taxing the ‘rich’(small business owners..basically someone else) , then you added millions of newly legalized illegals.....do you think they will join those pulling the cart(paying for it) , or those in the cart(signing up for free benefits)? And what does that do to the CBO numbers?
Screw you, Orszag. Repeal this monstrosity.
“CBO produces its estimates based on what has happened in the past, and we have never enacted such a fundamental transformation.”
IOW’s
This time will be different than every other time. Like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Income Tax, The Big Dig, Dept of Energy, Dept of Education, et all et all....
