Socialism is NOT a failure. Stop acting stupid.
I gave you a link to CNBC and quoted The CBO and all you can do is talk about Fox and Limbaugh... WTF are you talking about? Can you even read? Then, to put the icing on the cake, you send a link to The Huffington Post.
Being a liberal must completely rob people of any ability for logical, rational thought.
More sour grapes from another delusional conservative.
Face the facts - The Affordable Health Care Act is working.
Being a conservative robs people of thinking for themselves - You are entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts.
The CBO are not my facts... Where are yours?
The CBO only cites projections, NOT FACTS. Get back to us if and when they come to fruition, which is very doubtful.
Until then, keep eating your sour grapes.
Their projections are the best case scenarios. The CBO was loaded with the most conservative known figures and most optimistic models. It will be much worse than that.
The original Medicare hospital insurance program was estimated to cost $9 billion by 1990... Actual spending that year was $67 billion.
The same committee predicted the total medicare program would cost $12 billion in 1990... Actual spending was $110 billion
In 1987, The CBO estimated that medicaid payments would amount to less than $1 billion in 1992. The actual cost was $17 billion.
Wakeup and learn history. The world did not start on the day you were born. There is nothing that would lead anyone to believe that The CBO report on Obamacare isn't the best case scenario and in reality, it will be much worse than their already dire predictions.
You continue to hang your hat on the CBO report - Perhaps you need to wake up and do some further reading . . .
This CBO Report Is Another Big Win For Obamacare

Please try to come better prepared next time.
I never tried to hang my hat on The CBO Report. I present facts combined with the use of logic and reason. I mean, let's be honest, most liberal drones have never even heard of The CBO. All they know is that they want free shit. It was you who said The CBO was just a "projection" and it shouldn't be trusted.
I believe The CBO does indeed try to get it right, but they have to use the data provided to them or what is known at that time. The reality is, they never get it right, and they almost always underestimate the costs... ESPECIALLY WITH HEALTHCARE.
Here is a link that might help you understand...

The problem is, lib-drones crave victory for Democrats over Republicans and lose sight of THE BIG PICTURE and what is good for America.
I am just thankful that there is at least one lib-drone who is willing to stand behind Obamacare, the most destructive, UnAmerican legislation in my lifetime. Almost all your leaders are running from it... fake ass bitches.
Here is my post.... I ALWAYS said The CBO was wrong, just as you said it was wrong.
You just think it was wrong because it will somehow be better than their projections. I pointed out that historically, when The CBO is wrong, it is almost always wrong because it UNDERESTIMATES the cost.
It is you who have "Cherry-Picked".... First, you discredit The CBO and say that it is only a "projection" when it conflicts with your liberal worldview. Now that you agree with its "projections", you uphold The CBO as The Holy Trinity.
Now,with Koch Brothers rhetoric.... you are a bigger joke than I originally thought. Last time I checked, libs have more rich and powerful contributors than Republicans.

As with the case with most conservatives, you tie yourself up in knots and try to confuse the readers, only to end up holding an empty bag. Your rhetoric is nothing more than your opinion that has been weakly disguised as fact.
The only fact you need to know is that the Affordable Health Care Act is here to stay and it will improve as time goes on. Republicans opposed Medicare in the 60's and once again they are on the wrong side of yet another program that helps Americans.
Instead of trying to prove your 'case' with the CBO, you should try to answer why republicans hate Americans.
The only confused one is you. First, you discredit The CBO, then you love it.
Medicare? You mean the very same Medicare in which Obamacare stole billions from to fund his signature disaster? Now really.... who is that hates Americans?
Who wrote this?
The CBO only cites projections, NOT FACTS. Get back to us if and when they come to fruition, which is very doubtful.
Then wrote...

Get back to us if and when they come to fruition, "which is very doubtful".
See how your own words come back to haunt you? Doubtful.
Yeah... you're right, you didn't write this:
I hate The CBO...
The CBO only cites projections, NOT FACTS. Get back to us if and when they come to fruition, which is very doubtful.
I love The CBO...
This CBO Report Is Another Big Win For Obamacare.
Understanding liberals... I'm not very good at this.
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period.
