1. And....

Reading at the link I am providing should accompany the viewing of this video! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8534596

Check out the new revised CBO's numbers! Health Care plan declared Deficit Neutral; generates a surplus!

2. Frenchie, can you tell me what happened with the CBO. I heard on Morning Joe

Friday that the CBO issued this report about how there would be no savings and indeed an increase in the deficit with the House HC reform plan. Now we have this report. I'm a little confused. What just happened here? Was the first CBO report just a preliminary overview and the second one the actual numbers? If so, why did the CBO bother with the first report?

3. Yes, the first CBO report was just a preliminary report.....

which the Republicans and the media latched on to due to the bad news in it.....like they always do.

4. How much would you bet that they don't give any notice at all to THIS report?

I think I'll justhave to tune in Monday am and see what they say. They've been touting the CBO as "nonpartisan,so we can believe it." It'll be interesting to see how nonpartisan they think it is now. They'll prolly accuse the admnistration of threatening the CBO...
