BACKTRACK! CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE SAYS THERE IS NO OFFICIAL COST ESTIMATE

Health Care Overhaul

National Review Online:

The CBO Score, As Reported by Steny Hoyer

House Budget Committee Ranking Republican Paul Ryan responds to an NRO query about the news this morning: “The Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that there is currently no official cost estimate. Yet House Democrats are touting to the press — and spinning for partisan gain — numbers that have not been released and are impossible to confirm. Rep. James Clyburn stated he was ‘giddy’ about these unsubstantiated numbers. This is the latest outrageous exploitation by the Majority — in this case abusing the confidentiality of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office — to pass their massive health care overhaul at any cost.”

    These pricks are unbelievable! If it weren’t so serious, I’d be laughing my ass off at their buffoonery. They’re a bunch of banana republic clowns.

      The MS Media have their legs spread wide for the “O” and his minions…time..and time..again and again. They are a bunch of wormtounges lying to save their corrupt butts. We must have the truth and the Dims are strangers to it.

    I’m quite sure they are rushing head-long to marshall their voting forces on this one. Whether this monster bill costs $1 or $100 Trillion the cold hard fact remains this bill is UN – FUCKING – CONSTITUTIONAL! This bill clearly violates Article 1 Sections 7 & 8, all day long and all night long, ad infinitum! Anyone who votes for this thing will be considered as an ENEMY OF THE CONSTITUTION, PERIOD!

    There is no overhead cover on this one for anyone who votes for it. But go ahead and vote for it, YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE IN NOVEMBER. And for you cock suckers who are not facing a vote in November; you will be dealt with next time around.

    Nancy – your office will be in the janitor’s bathroom in the basement.

      Yeah, the basement of the San Francisco YMCA.

    I am not usually one to say this but the time has come. After viewing the outright Chavez-esque manner in which ths bill is plowing along, negotiated in private, corrupted by all, and fed to a class of uninformed, ignorant, entitilement oriented society, all propagated by a complicit echo chamber Goebbles would be proud of in addition to its blatent UNCONSTITUTIONAL nature, if it passes I think we’re done with talk. If this piece of shit legislation which has nothing to do with healthcare passes it demonstrates the utter lack of ability for, we the majority, to stop the transformation of our nation to socialism/communism. The communists grip on our schools, airwaves and televisions is complete and the only means we have left is the one they are afraid of….therefore :gun:

    The Dems are not only communist or socialists, they are fucking terrorist thugs!!! If they think they can force me to buy health insurance in order to be considered a U.S. citizen they are sorely mistaken. :gun:

    I’m usually a patent person, but right now in fucking livid!
