The American Spectator : Ruination From Obama-Baucus

The American Spectator : Ruination From Obama-Baucus:

This bill is paid for,' Senator Max Baucus grinned upon receiving the CBO report scoring his government health care takeover bill as slightly reducing rather than increasing the deficit. But Baucus does not tell you who is paying for it.

CBO scores the Baucus bill as increasing federal spending by close to $1 trillion. That is entirely paid for by Medicare cuts and tax increases, including tax increases on the middle class which Obama pledged over and over would never happen, 'in any form,' if he was elected. The New York Times and the Democrats are now trying to tell us that this means the bill and its government handouts are free."
