2009 Flashback - Pelosi 'knows' the CBO results before they are announced...rigged

Transcript of Pelosi, House Democratic Leaders, and Economists’ Press Conference Following Economic Forum

Q: Can you give us an update on the health care … [inaudible] … how close were …

Speaker Pelosi. Here’s where we are. I have been in a meeting for four hours, but when I talk to the Members again today I will be talking to them about that issue of fiscal soundness, which is what we heard over and over again from our experts. They talked about how we needed to be fiscally sound, but we needed to invest in jobs. But they said in the health care bill we really have to do the job of taking down cost. We said that that was a universal message.

And that is what our purpose is, is to improve quality, lower cost, expand coverage, and retain choice for those who like what they have. And in doing so, as the President has said: “Health care reform is entitlement reform and entitlement reform is essential to lowering the deficit.”

And what I will show Members today is how what we are about to receive from the CBO shows how we are fiscally sound as we accomplish the purposes that I just mentioned and we will continue to work for the rest of the day on that. We are moving forward in a very positive way.

You bad mouth and raise hell before the Senate has even changed hands! Hell, Harry Reid is still the majority leader. Please, let’s wait until these newly elected senators are sworn in.

[Vigilanteman]

Good question, but that was part of the plan in order to keep the Ponzi scheme going just one more election cycle.

I agree. Obama’s Chicago pals went to DC with him and they picked all his czars, who then picked the dirtiest most unethical government civil service types in their respective admin,service,agency,etc. to lead every branch of the Federal Gov. Obama and his accomplices have permeated and almost destroyed every US Gov agency to include the VA and the military.

I hardly think a four word response is “bad mouthing and raising hell.” But hey, we all have an opinion, some more realistic than others. Go for it.

[Lumper20]

Thanks for your insight. We can almost visualize how this filthy Chicago machine of Obama’s worked with the worse of the worse department head types in civil service and federal service. We know Obama had control of the Border Patrol, the IRS, AG, State, CIA, HHS,etc. Obama and his pals have about ruined our military with his LGBT pals and we know he put the VA on Obamacare. Ask any Vet about Obamacare and how great it is.

Not a simple Republican senator or Congressman voted in favor of that monstrosity called Obamacare. It must be make perfectly clear that democrat Phd com man Gruber, called stupid not all the American voters, but just the democrat voters that put the “Liar in Chief” in the White House, in spite of his Marxist anti-American back ground, and all the Democrats legislators co-conspirators with the president in the greatest deception against the American people in the history of the United States.

So the bastard developed a plan and developed how to rate his own plan and he has them use this criteria to rate any and all competition. UNREAL.

Republicans will now control the CBO. They need to clean house and hold the partisan hacks who have occupied that office and provided phony “research” to support ever expanding government accountable for their actions.

Part of the reason that national debates are always on the terms of the left is that all of our “non-partisan” institutions, such as the CBO, are packed full of careerist lefties who will also side that the “fair” way to score a bill is the way that the Democrats desire it.

Right nowIn January, Republicans will have the authority to systematically fire everyone who was involved in generating the false numbers that were used to foist ObamaCare on us. The would be howls of partisanship from the Democrats and their media allies of course, but these are the same people who laughed and said “We won” 6 years ago. Republicans need to aggressively use the power they have at this moment to begin to clean up the institutions of our government.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientifictechnological elite. Eisenhower’s Farewell Address

Eisenhower warned us in his “military industrial complex” speech to be wary of snow-job artists like Michael Mann, PhD with his “hockey stick graph” and the now newly infamous Mr. Gruber, PhD.

PhD = Piled Higher and Deeper
