1. Right off he says this is BEFORE the public option was removed...
...that's a big deal...he can't claim his numebrs are correct until the CBO does another analysis...his analysis is of a radically different bill.

4. No, it's not...he is basing this on a radically different bill...he doesn't
know what the CBO will eventually have to say...at best, this is a premature article, at worst, it's a bunch of lies.

3. The error
is thinking that a bill worth passing COULD pass, when a bunch of corrupt, paid-off cretins are the ones voting on it.

Congress needs a thorough purge. Every one of these long-standing officeholders ought to be primaried. Stay in office long enough you lose all touch with the average Joe.
