Dispute the points in the article. Pretty much everything I have been talking about for the last year is now coming to the top of the discussions.
So you have no way to support the assessments of the experts on the issue and the potential fallout of the bills passage. Bottom line, this bill is not going to do what they say it will and it will cost us a hell of a lot more than the fantasy reports of the OMB. Here is a great report about those lobbyists who feed on the whores of Congress. {warning, from that partisan site NPR} http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...ryId=125170643 |

I do agree that the CBO budget estimate of deficit reductions are optimistic...but nearly half of the cost is offset with hard money....$150 billion in cuts in overpayments to MA providers and a 0.9% increase in medicare payroll tax for top wage earners (over $200K) for another $250 bill. The significant investment in medical/health care technology (in both the stimulus bill and the health reform bill) will save $$$ billions over time...just difficult to determine with certainty exactly how much. |
