Washington Examiner ^ | 7/17/09 | Laura Litvan

Posted on 07/17/2009 1:30:00 PM PDT by Nachum

The Senate can pass legislation overhauling the U.S. health-care system by August with some Republican support even with the “wacky” cost estimates by the Congressional Budget Office, Senator Charles Schumer said.

Wacky indeed. It’s not like we have any examples (Veterans Affairs, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc.) of government entitlement programs being costly from which to draw conclusions.

Have to admit, Chucky should know whacky when he sees it...unless he avoids mirrors.

Yep, accountants are wacky as all get out.

However, Senators who don’t even read bills, they know things. They are the people who can give you solid projections.

I swear, I’m in bizarro land.

Schumer is just a two bit Nazi wacko. I cannot believe ANYONE would vote for that moron. What am I talking about? I voted for McCain for Senator. More than once. Nevermind. LOL!

with some Republican support

He's counting on the Maine Sisters, most likely (and probably right to do so).

We no longer have a serious representative government. I think putting Al Franken in there was the true Jump the Shark moment. Now we’ve got Franken asking the Wise Latina about her favorite Perry Mason episode and Schumer the Putz calling the CBO wacky. The whole thing is both funny and sad all at the same time.

Our most important challenge!!
(This quote is one size fits all for the ‘progressives’...)

Michael Crichton, author of State of Fear and other best-selling novels, delivered this lecture at the Commonwealth Club on September 15, 2003.

“I have been asked to talk about what I consider the most important challenge facing mankind, and I have a fundamental answer,” opens Crichton. “The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. Perceiving the truth has always been a challenge to mankind, but in the information age (or as I think of it, the disinformation age) it takes on a special urgency and importance.”

Yeah—that wacky CBO estimate is probably a low ball too. Schumer will be the first one to call for tax increases when the actuals far exceed the estimates. And then he will CYA by saying the CBO estimates were low. I’d call him a jacka$$, but he is the schlamazel and we are the schlameals.

Wow—that’s a great quote. I always liked Michael Crichton—too bad he’s left us.

Yeah that wacky CBO also said the stimulus was going to be a bad idea. And they were wrong about that...oh, wait. Congress knows better than everyone else, even without reading the bill...because they just do.

God help us... seriously, God HELP US!

The Massoftwosh_ts plan is collapsing under its own weight as this abortion is being thrust on the whole country.

Conservatives should zero in on that and illustrate to the country that this is what Obamacare will do to us all.

Slimy Schumer doesn’t like it when peopl tell the truth. There is nothing wacky about America not being able to afford your wacky schemes. Unfortuantely since NYC is mostly nuts we are stuck with the likes of you!
