Ahhh, those wily Democrats. They tried to say that ten years of ObamaCare would cost under a trillion dollars. But then it came out that their numbers were based on ten years of goes-inna and only six years of goes-outta.
Maybe Montana Democrat Senator Max Baucus was overcome with guilt or maybe he was secretly injected with truth serum – there’s no real way of knowing – but he unexpectedly spilled the beans about ObamaCare.
“Healthcare reform, whether you use a ten-year number or when you start in 2010 or start in 2014, wherever you start at, so it is still either $1 trillion or it’s $2.5 trillion, depending on where you start…”
Expect an angry phone call from the White House today, Senator Baucus.

The numbers will skew highly northward, with the new “compromise” they put into play on harry’s bill this week, whereby they are going to lower the age to receive medicare by 10 years, which means an extra 50 trillion or so in deficits using the traditional numbers the calculate medicare costs with.
Needless to say-none of this shi* will work, at all, under any magical circumstances, because we don’t have the dough-and all the doctors will up and quit if they have to wait 18 months to get their 30% of cost from medicare/medicaid for all of their services rendered. What a colossal joke and waste of taxpayer money to even try this.
Now, on the other hand, the congress did reach an agreement yesterday to restrict the powers that be in college football to only call the “national championship game” the “national championship game” if and only if, there was a round robin tournament leading up to it, and if the two teams with the best record were in that “national championship game” after being the last men standing in the RR tourney. Thank god they handled the MLB issues this year, and the college football issue. The sooner they pass a censure of Tiger Woods, after weeks of statements and arguments on the floors of both houses of congress, the sooner we will know they really care about the “pressing” business of the people. Not this healthcare, cap and trade, and afghanistan crap!
