BREAKING : CBO Says Repealing ObamaCare Would Reduce Net Spending by $540 Billion
The American Spectator ^ | January 07, 2011 | Philip Klein

Posted on 01/07/2011 12:32:15 PM PST by RobinMasters

The Congressional Budget Office, in an email to Capitol Hill staffers obtained by the Spectator, has said that repealing the national health care law would reduce net spending by $540 billion in the ten year period from 2012 through 2021. That number represents the cost of the new provisions, minus Medicare cuts.

Repealing the bill would also eliminate $770 billion in taxes. It's the tax hikes in the health care law (along with the Medicare cuts) which accounts for the $230 billion in deficit reduction.

Full email, from Edward "Sandy" Davis, CBO's Associate Director for Legislative Affairs, below.

The CBO just made themselves irrelevant.

Reporter: “How much will it cost?”

CBO: “Who is asking?”

The pencil whipping will continue when Obama vetoes the repeal.

What are we going to do when he does that?

The stats and facts that were kept from the CBO by Pelosi’s staff—you know,those that prove Obamacare will destroy both America's health care industry and overall economy—have just been delivered to the CBO by Boehner’s staff.
