Who needs truth if truth is dull



The quote is from Mason Williams' The Exciting Accident, but it applies here.

Take a look at the Washington Post's Obamacare repeal could add $353 billion to the deficit and the Huffington Post's Obamacare Repeal Would Swell The Deficit Even Using GOP's New Math, Budget Office Says.

Specifically:
The economist that Republicans handpicked to run the Congressional
Budget Office just told Republicans that one of their favorite arguments
about Obamacare is wrong.


According to a report the CBO released Friday, repealing the Affordable Care Act wouldn't reduce the deficit, as Republicans have long claimed.
It would increase the deficit, by at least $137 billion over 10 years
and maybe a lot more than that -- with the effects getting bigger over
time.
Not that this will matter.
