CBO's latest score exposes Dems' chicanery (Updated)

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Looking at the just-released preliminary numbers makes it perfectly clear that the Dems are, as usual, using tricks like these to pull the wool over what they believe to be a dumb American public.

And just how dumb do the Pelosicrats think the American public is? As a commenter at Hot Air aptly noted about the CBO's $940 billion price tag:

You can't make this stuff up.

A 10 year estimate for 6 years of the program.

Judging by the increases, you're looking at $940 billion just over the final 4 years.

So the actual first 10 years of the program it comes in at around 1.8 trillion.

And if the American public doesn't scream their heads off over this, that's how dumb we'll be.

Update: The reconciliation amendment is up and available on the House Rules Committee web site. So the clock is now ticking. (H/t - Daniel Foster)
