From the March 19 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

If the details of the CBO score are so concrete, and the details are so perfect for health care reform - why would you NOT want to get into a discussion about the CBO numbers in order to make everyone see they are good...and why would you NOT want to debate details? It would seem to me that if you're going to vote YES on the bill - you should WANT to tell everyone the good CBO news in FULL and debate the details in full that you're so proud of.
And seeing as how most of the bill doesn't start for 4 years, a few months isn't going to make much of a difference. There is a core set of pieces that cost zero dollars and are fully bipartisan that they could pass right now while they analyze the rest of the details (pre-existing conditions, etc).
Anytime someone tells me to not read or worry about something because it needs to be done quickly makes me skeptical and pretty much tells me not to sign it. Its like a banker telling you not to worry about the fine print on a home loan - because the main part of the deal says i get the loan, so don't worry about it.
Correction: "shouldnt"
So I guess we're even.....
Because discussions questioning the integrity, honesty, nonpartisanship, accuracy and excellence of the CBO are NOT honest discussions poised by someone actually interested in discussing that topic, but are instead talking points poised to dishonestly portray the CBO AND to avoid talking about the substantive things about this bill that can't be countered!
Gosh, that was easy. Make it tougher next time, okay?
Yes, they do. What a wonderful reason for drug testing for any type of federal assistance, subsidy, welfare, or food stamps.
Doctor fix not in the bill. Ten years of taxation vs. six years of spending. Double counting medicare cuts. It is smoke and mirrors and accounting gimmicks. The same folks who said unemployment would not go above 8% if we passed the stimulus are now claiming spending $ 1 trillion (the real number will probably be $6 trillion) in a new entitlement will not increase the debt.
I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. Anyone interested?
The CBO must accept whatever presumptions Congress tells it to. It is a garbage in - garbage out product. Example:
I plan to earn $100K/yr for the next ten years. I also plan to win an additional $1 million in the lottery in seven years. I will have $2 million in revenue over the next ten years. I plan to spend $200K/yr for the next ten years. Do my numbers add up?
CBO would say yes because they must accept my presumption that I will win the lottery at face value.
The fact is you can not rebut anything I just said, so you resort to calling me names. Calling me names does not mean that what I said is not factual.
First i wasn't calling you names. If i had said: "you are an: idiotic, imbesilic, obnoxious, paranoid a$$hole Limbot.", then i would be calling you names.
Second, the many ways in which you have failed logic are pretty much spread throught all your posts. Examples:
-No true Scottman's fallacy: Any reference to RINOs, "no true Catholic", "No true conservative", etc.
-Circular reasoning: "...Example:
I plan to earn $100K/yr for the next ten years. I also plan to win an additional $1 million in the lottery in seven years. I will have $2 million in revenue over the next ten years. I plan to spend $200K/yr for the next ten years. Do my numbers add up?
CBO would say yes because they must accept my presumption that I will win the lottery at face value. "
-Guilt by associ... Glenn Beck is that you? Stop trolling D@mn!t.
but this is the right wing bizzaro world,
facts be DAMNED!!!
Lemme guess, Limpy -- you've been sitting in on CBO meetings, right?
Good thing for Rush that so many dittoheads can't use the Internets. :-)
He has Steny's phone tapped, maybe??
Breaking and entering into a US Senator's office for the purpose of placing an illegal wiretap {both criminal offenses} makes one a "hero"?
Boy -- wingnuts sure have a strange definition of "heroism" . . .
Its call a leaked memo circulating today.
That somebody forged....
Any luck finding the quote yet?
I don't usually watch Glenn. Obama only got into Harvard because Kahalid al-Mansour and Percy Sutton greased the skids. He certainly did not gain admission on the basis of his LSAT score. As someone who has taken the LSAT, I would be absolutely stunned if BHO got any higher than 140 on the LSAT.
Here's one. You previously denied that you had ever said you took the LSAT.
And no, I haven't even looked for the quotes yet. They're there.
DellDolly's already found one of them.
Fraud.
But wait - I can tell what's coming before you even say it. Its because ALL republicans are rich people who can easily afford to buy their own health care, right?
When did Rachel Maddow ever "spout" Grayson's speech as being a straight forward recitation of facts?
