The average American taxpayer is much smarter than Congress realizes. A lot of us have caught on to the deceptive tactics of the progressives as they manipulate words and numbers to impress the American public. In 2010, let change America back to the way we once knew it.

It is amazing how the author of this article and others that are supporters of this devastating piece of legislation have stretched the truth and weaved their own story from the CBO's report that seems so wonderful at first glance. The elected officials need to know that the public is not stupid. We know that this is fuzzy math and that this bill will destroy America as we know it. The numbers from the CBO don't reflect the fact that this bill won't take affect for three years and the cost (taxes) that begins to hit the public like a brick wall at that point. Post the darn bill so we can see the hangman's noose tighten around our necks and the future of our nation.

2 quotes from the CBO
"CBO and JCT’s analysis is preliminary in large part because the Chairman’s mark, as amended, has not yet been embodied in legislative language."
and better yet on the number provided by CBO "Those estimates are all subject to substantial uncertainty."

The country will collapse quickly under the weigth of all the current spending. We can only hope that we do collapse quickly so we can will have a better chance to rebuild the country back to it's original intent. As we put the nation back together we can also jail or deport the marxist communist who will never agree with free people. They will also never let us rest if we allow them to stay here. If the senate and house pass health care reform I fear the nation will go down a very violent path?

Please post "the bill's" number or a link to "the bill" so we can all read it, as I'm sure the author of this piece did.
(Word is there is no bill...which means CBO had only scored obtuse concepts that was put before it. Nothing that can be looked at and vetted by the taxpayers)
