So, the CBO numbers worked fine for the Republicans when Bush was president (he was never accused of taking them out to the woodshed and beating the pulp out of them), even though their numbers showed the bills being advanced would add to the deficit. Fast forward to the Health Care bill, and the CBO numbers come in and show that it will decrease the deficit, and the Republicans are shitting all over themselves on television saying that the CBO "changed" the numbers because "Obama" took them to the woodshed!
Amazing, simply amazing. We go from a budget surplus when Bush takes over, he passes three major legislative reforms that increases the deficit in the trillions, based on CBO calculations, and everyone votes for it, but Obama has put before congress a health care bill that will fucking decrease the deficit, and the Republicans go apeshit.
Banging. Head. On. Keyboard.
