What is $860 billion in real dollars?
« on: September 17, 2009, 01:45:01 AM »
The new senate "health care" (aka kill the old people) bill is supposed to cost $860 billion over 10 years. What is the fudge factor for calculating the real cost? We know it's always much more than the legislation states, so do we multiply by 5, 10, 100?

Yes, enough to poison all of the old people to death.

Nice handle, by the way.

I'm still one of the working taxpayers that's gonna have to pay for all this healthcare reform and I say no we don't need it and I don't want to have to pay for it just like my employer is going to say to my healthcare plan after the gov plan is available at a lower price so then I'll have to pay for everyone not working along with paying for mine while everyone else is collecting unemployment forever and riding the gravy train. no wonder why everyone wants a government check and a free ride in life !!!!!!
