Their plan was that they’d collect 4 years of Obamacare taxes before the bill goes into effect so that the bill won’t increase the deficit in the next 10 years. So I assume that means that the deficit will decline over the next 4 years, as they put that money away so that it can be used for Obamacare benefits when the plan goes into effect.

I wonder if they really will save it, or if they’ll just spend it on more pork between now and then?

snip “as they put that money away...”

Like the Social Security Trust Fund?

Oh wait, it’s in the negative. This money will be GONE.

A long shot, but it passed my mind that this is just a huge money grab. Four years of higher taxes while the courts grind through challenges and determine that it really IS unconstitutional and there's no actual program to fund when the time rolls around.
