Even the CBO is having a tough time swallowing the Obama health plan, I wonder why?

In this mornings news there were several items of interest, the first being the CBO which I believe is the Congressional Budget Office, came out and contradicted the Administration's assertion that their proposed health plan would save money, lot's of money. Apparently, some bureaucrat over at the CBO must have found their Texas Instruments basic elementary school calculator in the back of a desk drawer and decided to do some good old basic add'in and subtract'in, just for the fun of it and found out that someone over at the White House was try'in to run some numbers. Running the numbers sometimes has the connotation that someone is trying to put something over on a very unsophisticated audience (reference the emotionally led American public).

They said there wasn't going to be a half trillion dollar savings but they were going to end up spending at least a half trillion dollars more than they were projecting. Our President and his staff have continually spouted how they are going to fix everything and save costs which is proving time and again to be nothing more than a bunch of bureaucrats making claims they can't back up with real facts. What the heck, this was so blatant that the CBO couldn't even cover for them. We are in need of health care reform, but why not start with a very thorough and comprehensive overhaul of whats in place and then look at what else needs to be done before committing trillions to a plan that has not been very well thought out.

The the other bit of news is the Veep and his advising people to spend as this is the way out of the recession, Joe, overspending and irresponsible Politicians like you are what got us into this mess and are what is perpetuating it.
