Bush's budget will show a $530 billion cost over 10 years for the addition of a prescription drug benefit for the Medicare health program for senior citizens. That is 33 percent more than was anticipated when the Medicare overhaul was approved less than two months ago.

Hilarious.

Who could have known?

I "knew" the prescription drug price tag was phony before the ink dried. Why? I have just been around the track too many times regarding these things. When it comes to medical subsidies the numbers are always way low. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the emperor was exposed as having no clothes. Now the issue is why was there such a large error? Why was responsible? Who cooked the books? The period of time is too short to just blame it on the outcomes not matching the perdictions. Normally there are enough outcomes to provide cover for the perps to just say they are shocked and amazed. Not this time.

The WMD "scandal" doesn't interest me, although it certainly interests the media. This one does.
