The House reform bill passes the CBO with flying colors. Not only does the bill qualify below the president's $900 billion price tag, but it also reduces the federal budget deficit by $104 billion over ten years, according to the official word from the CBO. That's better than the Senate Finance bill which only reduced the deficit by $81 billion.It's also worth mentioning that a "robust" public option would've made for a cheaper bill.
Why are Republicans against lowering the deficit? We all know the answer. Dick "Deficits Don't Matter" Cheney punk'd his boytoy George Bush for 8 years spending on everything in sight while borrowing to pay for it. The Conservatives are the personification of debt.
We learned our lesson, now don't forget it. Republicans do not want to govern, they want to control.
