No Cherry Picking, only a post of the latest update of the CBO response as of Jan 2010.

Of course you are cherry picking.
Updated their information? Nope.
The latest CBO letter you posted was in regard to ONE component, ONE specific level of coverage (bronze) to be offered through the Exchange (which you think is a fantasy) in response to a request from ONE senator.
It supplements.....not replaces or updates. It doesnt change the overall "score" that CBO provided on the overall Senate bill that was adopted. If you know anything about the CBO scoring process, you would know that. But that requires someone interested in the full analysis and not just those pieces cherry picked to support a pre-disposed opinion.
And deficit neutral has nothing to with what any individual will pay...it refers to the impact on the federal budget.

White House talking points and lies?
Have you forgotten the "death panels" and the Medicare scare tactics, the "government rationing", the industry "studies" that fudged the costs to their benefit and all those endless partisan opinion columns with an agenda that misrepresented the facts and that you flooded the discussion with.... not to mention the sudden tsunami of inane pictures you "contributed" to the discussion recently (I was actually embarrassed for you with that childish outburst until I realized that you would never man up and admit it was an over-reaction.)
Cherry picking again?
