The Medicare savings in the Senate health care bill was double-counted by Democrats and the legislation will increase the deficit -- not decrease it, a a senior Republican senator said Wednesday, citing a letter from the CBO's chief.

I’m just certain that Senator Reid would love to hear from all of us FReepers about this. Aren’t you?

I sure hope so- I keep getting these breaking news emails from FOX- “boy this, boy that”...sheeesh!
How bout boys in Senate awaken from slumber of idiocy and cancel health care bill and all earmarks.
Ole Joe emphatically declared he would NOT vote for a bill that increased the deficit.
Sausage and eggs....
Did he say he wouldn’t vote for cloture on it if it were not deficit neutral?
Sessions and Gregg had a press conference on this, but unfortunately Fox News is focusing on Balloon Boy today.
Seems like they would have added a little more complexity to shroud their evil intentions. What did the Greeks say about Hubris so many centuries ago?
According to Karl Rove on Greta’s show last night, Bill Nelson got the best deal of all for Florida.
I got lost in the details, but apparently, ONLY Florida gets to keep medicare advantage. IOW, Bill thinks he bought-off all the seniors in Florida.
Wait! What new declaration by the CBO? I’ve been so busy I missed it :( Do NOT tell me they’ve sobered up and seen the light?
LOL. Reid hasn’t disconnected his phone yet?
I am truly stunned.
And what is most amazing is that the MSM didn't report it!
Where is all that investigative reporting we are always hearing about?
Thanks! Will it be on FBN, Fox News, or both (or neither)?
Maybe it will be on CSPAN at least.
Lieberman probably will vote against the bill, but it won’t matter - he will vote FOR cloture, like all the rest of the unprincipled liars, knaves, and fools we elected.
Excessive blinking is also a sign of demon possession.
He lied.
Bill Nelson is like an a****le who puts t**ds in the punch bowl for everybody else but won't drink it himself. He's not the only one.
Did we already miss it?
I am getting so confused now.
I am watching c-span on the computer and watching Fox News and Fox Business News split screen.
I just saw Judd Gregg on FNC, but not Sessions.
As soon as I read about Senator Sessions’ discovery, I called Senator Coburn’s office and asked what they would suggest I could do about it.
The young lady said it was worth a shot to call other Senators’ offices, because some might actually record the call and pass it on to their senator, as Senator Coburn’s office does.
So, I called Senator Reid and waited on hold for more than 5 minutes. Unfortunately, my dog needed to go outdoors, and it’s so muddy here from the rains that I needed to take him out on the leash, so I had to hang up the call.
I suspect his phone staff is on overload today. More phone calls would be the last thing they think they need today, I’m sure.

I agree. He’ll vote for cloture. He’s a fraud too.
Not one democrat is willing to kill the bill.
Damn them all.
