BTW, not a peep from this editorial about the demos plan which would have been $800 billion.

The editorial is about the fact that the cost of this plan was likely purposefully underestimated - not the Democrats' proposed plan.

Surely you think fiscal irresponsibility of this sort is a legitimate topic of discussion, right?

Just putting the facts out there. I guess you don't like facts.

Of course by omitting the fact of the demos spending plan, makes for a good blood boiling editorial, which gives red meat for you all to chew on.

It would have be DOA in the House last year if the truth had come out. Conservatives voted for it with the understanding costs would be kept in line. How do you think they feel now, that the true price tag of the law is a third higher than the original projection? Sure it may be cheaper than the Democrats gold-plated plan but that's not the point. The point is this was sold as a reform that would save money over the long haul and now we're finding its going to be the opposite. No wonder there's a rebellion brewing in Republican ranks.

"Likeley purposefully" Why put this in there ? Why not say that nogood sob bush lied about the cost.
