So Let Me Get This Straight - The CBO Might Not Be Proficient In Counting People.....

If that is so - it is possible that the CBO might be wrong on their estimates of how many people will lose their health insurance.

They might be off on the low side and maybe even more people will lose their health insurance than they estimated.

Why doesn't somebody pose that scenario to Sean Spicer?

at some point it becomes stupid to even bother covering what these liars say.

donnie and the gang have absolutely zero credibility.

i mean, we cover a groundhog's opinion on the weather, but only once a year!

Granted I couldn't find a number, but there was a very good post by someone that spoke of the 2000's-ey prediction because of 9/11, the invasion of Afghanistan and then the Iraq debacle. Of course W. couldn't be bothered to put the wars into the budget, but we all remember the "supplemental bills" so there were trillions added to the deficit and we were given the largest load of manure, ever.

President Obama got into office and put all the supplementary BS bills and boom! Trillions added to the deficit and the Goppers lose their minds. 'Cause it President Obama's fault he made the deficit go up by 3 trillion $$.

Point is: the CBO was much more accurate in the 2000's-ey, with pretty much everything. The audacity of the sociopaths pushing the CBO is wrong hysteria is dangerous, very dangerous. I swear (a lot) I am flummoxed as to what to do.
