It Only Costs $940 Billion
If his lips are moving, he’s lying. Obama wants you to believe that his Obamacare plan will save money in the long run so they are pulling numbers out of their ass – when in truth, there is no way to know how much this frankenstein of a bill will finally cost – but it’ll be north of $2.5 trillion when you add in government waste plus fraud.
Here’s the take from Investors Business Daily:
By presenting the CBO with incomplete, inaccurate and misleading data, the Democrats in Congress were finally able to come up with a cost score they like: $940 billion.
That’s the estimate the CBO arrived at. Like a used car dealer pricing a car at $9,999 instead of $10,000, the hucksters in Congress were anxious to get the official cost below the scary $1 trillion level at which things suddenly sound very unaffordable.
Using the rigged $940 billion estimate, Democratic leaders now hope to force a health care bill through as early as Saturday, seizing 17% of the U.S. economy by simply “deeming” the bill is passed — rather than actually passing it in an up-or-down vote.
In fact, the real cost of this health care takeover is more like $2.5 trillion over 10 years — not $940 billion. That’s off by, oh, 166%.
Here’s a better idea: KILL THE BILL. Cost? …. ZERO
