By FITSNews || The rigged three-ring circus of “health care reform” could be entering its final chapter this weekend as the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in Washington D.C. released its official estimate of the cost of the plan. Meanwhile, Democrats appeared to be working towards a Sunday vote on the controversial legislation.
According to the CBO estimates – Obama’s plan would cost $940 billion over the next decade without adding anything to the deficit.
And yes, if you believe that then we’ve got some nice oceanfront property for you to look at in … say … Nebraska.
The actual cost of the plan is closer to $2.5 trillion, fully-implemented, and it would add at least $ trillion to an out-of-control U.S. debt that’s expected to surpass $20 trillion within the coming decade.
Nonetheless, Obama and his Congressional allies are pressing forward with the legislation.
“We are absolutely giddy over the great news that we’ve gotten from the CBO,” U.S. Poverty Pimp … err, Majority Whip Jim Clyburn told reporters Thursday.
It remains unclear at this point whether or not House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has the votes to pass the proposal – or whether Republicans have the votes needed to stop it.

Clyburn the poverty pimp and Hussein Obama, the master slick Chicago politician, this morning said the healthcare bill would save taxpayers over a trillion dollars in two decades, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Anyone who believes a major new government program will save any money, much less a trillion dollars, is a fu*cking fool, including the two previously mentioned. What this program will do, if passed, is make this country move faster down the road it is already on, which is into Depression II.

Please note that the CBO is a “preliminary” estimate.
I sure Rhammy and Obama really turned the heat on the bean counters.
Regardless, I suspect full “passage” of this unconstitutional bill in the wee hours of Sunday…the traditional Christian Sabbath.
After all, Obama said just this week that passage of Obamacare will cause insurance premiums to go down 3000% and that should make all 57 states very happy!

Hee, even the CBO has been enlisted into the Great Conservative Conspiracy.
Start the crying, bitches, it’s going to pass.

You are right Pat. It will pass.
And when you need a doctor, get used to the five hour wait.
On second thought, you probably are a rich liberal.
You will be able to fly to Costa Rica with Pelosi to receive your surgical procedures at a private hospital.
It is the Middle Class which will be targeted and will not be able to afford the care they now enjoy.
See ya in Costa Rica–surf’s up, dude!

LOL….yes, it’s going to pass alright.
A “reform” bill so wonderful and clearly beneficial to all that Senators had to be bribed to go along, the House decided to “deem and pass” without attaching their names to it (of course), the President was clueless when trying to answer Bret Baier’s questions about it (he actually didn’t answer any, but no matter), you could be fined or go to jail if you don’t buy in, it is paid for now (taxes) with benefits (to speak of) coming much later, Medicare is going to get cut….just for starters.
Here’s a good link

Yes, it’s going to pass and all of these idiots marching in lockstep with this travesty may not be quite as smug when they see what it does to the quality of healthcare in this country.
But hey – it’s CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!

Team Obama and the Democratic Statist Party have revealed their true hatred of the US Constitution and the American people.
Their rogue and disingenous tactics to pass a bill which will directly affect every living soul in this country now and forevermore, suggest an unforseen level of toxic dishonesty which diminishes their credibility.
Every honest man and women should fear the Democrats.
They simply can’t be trusted with power.

The Obamacare bill calls for hiring another 12,500 IRS agents to enforce its provisions mandating health insurance.
Does that make you feel good, Pat?
After all, Stimulus #1 and #2 added another 25,000 IRS agents to the government’s rolls.
With unemployment at all-time highs, I wonder how all those IRS agents are gonna spend their time?
Any suggestions, Pat?
After all, it’s the American people who are paying their salaries.

Pat is full of horse _h_t! When you wait or are refused care on your Obamacare card, don’t run crying!

This whole Obamacare mess really reeks—-it flunks the sniff test.
This process lacks credibility and makes America look like a Third World Bananna Republic.
I suspect there are many Americans tonite–Democrats–scratching their heads and wondering–what in the hell is going on??

No. Costa Rica is a Third World Banana Republic.
Life here is so much better than the Nazi Empire, it’s amazing.
I made my escape when you over medicated, brainwashed fools allowed Poppy’s boy to steal the election the second time and sat on your fat azzes and did nothing.
America is finished. You got what you asked for.

Same ol’, same ol’. Legislatures pass legislation.
It’s what they do.
It’s not the end of the world. It’s just a bad
piece of legislation. Next congress the Republicans
will pass something equally stupid to try and fix it.
Let’s just move on.

Dooooooglas,
Can you send a guide I want to do the same as you. All you fuckers have more to worry about than the helth care bill!

Obama is running things in Washington like a drug king-pin rules a cartel—employing un-American tactics of intimidation and fear in a ruthless and unconstitutional manner…
Our children and grand children will pay the price for Obama’s radical agenda.
By CNChapin March 19, 2010 at 10:17 am
If they pass it, it will be an act of war against the citizens of this country. I hope they pay the ultimate price for their treason.
