CNBC Breathless Report on CBO Scoring of Obamacare
CNBC | October 7, 2009 | John Harwood

Posted on 10/07/2009 1:27:42 PM PDT by ReleaseTheHounds

John Harwood, CNBC Washington DC correspondent and Obama-worshipper, just breathlessly reported that the CBO has reported scoring the Max Baucus Healthcare Reform plan at costing some $821 billion over 10 years. This is less than previous bills and CBO reports, so Harwood and his fellow-traveler Dems are apparently ecstatic.


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Government; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: cbo; missinglink; scoring

John Harwood was, at one time, a WSJ reporter whom I’m sure was hired by the reliable commie-lover Al Hunt. You can always count on biased reporting out of John Harwood.

Numbers are very confusing things to liberals.

Which is why they are liberals.

So it costs a few b8illion less...it will still saddle the enitre nation with socialism, worse health care, and higher taxes.

Kill it...kill this bill dead.


OBAMA IS A MARXIST IDEOLOGUE

Obama is going about systematically, and with a will, bringing the marxist fundamental change he promised. But more and more Americans are awakening to it and will not let it stand.

Following this report, I just heard Maria Bartaroma (sp?) interview Representative Alan Grayson (a-hole Dem from Disney World). She apparently crossed him up by asking him something off-topic like “would you favor reducing deficit spending?” Grayson was aghast! “Maria, are you a Republican?” She replied, “I’m just trying to get on the other side of this issue and get a reaction.” His reply was something like “let’s stick to the subject.”

Amazing.

Obama and the Dims finally cajole their own budget office to lose a small fraction of the projected costs.

Why do I get the feeling this news won't even register with most folks?

It really doesn't matter what the CBO calculates or reports. Once der Furher gets his 0bamascare, it will be expanded, changed, modified, etc. so that the parts he couldn't force through, will be paramount and the main part of the plan, and damn the expenses, the taxpayers will just have to pay for it.

If 0bama forces this through this year, and intelligent, patriotic individuals ever get back into Congress in the future, the first thing should be to cancel 0bamascare in it's entirety.

“KILL THIS BILL..IT’S THEM VS US..WHERE WILL THIS END?”

Probably with lots of semiauto rifles, and huge amounts of unnecessary blood.

This one is VERY bad news.
