CBO Strikes Back

Hot Air ^

[Def Conservative]

The CBO released a new analysis of the House version of ObamaCare yesterday, after getting blasted by White House budget director Peter Orszag for “exaggerating” the costs associated with the proposal. Douglas Elmendorf tells Rep. Dave Camp (R), the ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee, that the changes proposed by the White House will have little impact on their cost analysis, and that in fact the news gets worse in the second decade after the first runs up a $239 billion deficit:

Any good theories on why the Democrats havent been able to scare this guy into shutting up?

Oh the messiah ain’t gonna like this.

Hehehe...the truth is hurting. It's leaving a big, angry, red welt.

And well it should. The entire healtch care effort on the part of Obama and the dems is an absolute monstrocity.

Here is a link to the full House Democrat Health Care Plan in PDF. In Section 1233 E & F, pages 426-433, you find the part about mandatory end-of-life counseling for anyone over 65 years of age. Section 152 Page 50: All healthcare services will be provided without regard to "personal characteristcs" which is not defined within the document but is understood to include immigration status.

A lot more provisions now being documented at that site.

Also, here's a large image of the Democratic (Obama) Health Plan chart-another Obama empty promise. This is the one the House democrats are censuring. Email these links or the image to everyone you know.

Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

No hostages?

[freespirited]

They’ll look bad if he takes his ball and goes back to Brookings.

LOL the long form Birth Certificate OholyO refuses to pony up. Maybe... you think? He sure doesn’t want to release it....

His marching orders don't come from the DNC?

He is a communist, not a Democrat?

(my two...)

The postal service is still sitting on the dead fish Rahm mailed to him? Then Rahm just got the second fish out via UPS this morning?

The Congressional Dems APPOINTED him. According to the CBO wiki page, the Director is appointed by the party in power, and Douglas W. Elmendorf was appointed on January 22, 2009.

I have a feeling that, once appointed, neither the Dems nor Obama can remove him without just cause.

[calex59]

Well just a guess would be that the guy has guts and integrity, two things dimwits know nothing about.

[PapaBear3625]

The amusing thing is that on Elmendorf's wiki page, it has:

In 1993, Elmendorf moved to public life, working for the CBO office for the first time. He spent a year as an associate analyst before joining full-time in 1994 as a principal analyst where Elmendorf focused on health-care issues and the economic effects of budget deficits. Working under CBO Director Robert D. Reischauer, Elmendorf worked on a team that concluded President Bill Clinton's health reform package would cost much more than originally thought. This analysis helped cripple Clinton's attempt to reform health care

[RummyChick]

that is deliciously ironic..he is going to be the man that shoots it down for a second time

[nascarnation]

Well if the guy “commits suicide” in Ft. Marcy Park, I won’t be surprised.........

Pelousy is still hoping to ram this through the House before they take their August break so the representatives don’t have to hide out. She knows (and has stated) that if the House waits until AFTER the August recess, there will be no passage of the bill in the House due to all the blowback that House members will get from their constituents.

The CBO news is good, from the standpoint that it shines a big light on zer’s lies about DeathCare but, once the public sees/hears this information, it will kill it!!

In this illustration from Appendix VIII of The ObamaCare Bill ("Approved Alternative Treatments for Cancer"), we see a healthcare provider applying leeches during "cupping."

No, but he was invited to visit the President wasn't he? *Obama and Rahmbo probably asked him how his family was. They also asked if he was sleeping ok and then they asked him if he liked hospital food.

All these techniques and questions are in the Chicago Political Bible that *Obama and Rahmbo helped write.

All of a sudden the CBO chief had a revelation? Give me a break.
