David Limbaugh - Democrats Manipulate CBO

David Limbaugh: "It's sobering that 58 percent of American voters support the repeal of Obamacare just three weeks after Congress passed it, and that's probably without even realizing the extent of the tainted cost estimates from the Congressional Budget Office or the tax consequences of the bill. If accurate accounting and the actual tax consequences were to be fully publicized, this nightmare would be even less popular.

The White House would disagree, of course, but don't be fooled. The newspaper The Hill reports that White House budget director Peter Orszag says the CBO numbers actually underestimate the savings from the bill.

Orszag cites two reasons. One is that 'on major pieces of legislation,' the CBO historically has been 'too conservative rather than too optimistic' in its projections. The other is that the CBO's scoring 'largely does not take into account this evolution toward paying for quality,' which, Orszag thinks, 'in this decade will begin to pay off.'"
