Senator Christopher J. Dodd….resign NOW

After covering for accounting fraud at Fannie and Freddie, lying about AIG bonuses, your sweatheart mortgage as “Friend of Angelo” and Countrywide and
your pay for play Irish Cottage it is time to go.

The corruption needs to stop.

You have NO business writing this legislation.

I found your site via National Review Online. Given that government programs always cost more than projected, I wonder if you could find out how much Medicare and other federal behemoths were projected to cost and compare that to the actuals. That would be an interesting comparison to the Obamacare CBO projections.

“As I’ve noted in previous posts (e.g., here), a key risk is that health reform would put the U.S. on an even worse fiscal trajectory.”

Are you suggesting that adding a huge new entitlement will plunge the government into yet greater depths of debt? I beg your pardon! Joe Biden’s scheme that you have to waste trillions to make trillions seems much more hopeful.

Excellent post, did you note when reading the updated CBO scoring from last Friday:
1) That administrative costs of the program (e.g., the public plan) are not included in the analysis
2) The inflection point of the offsets and coverage payments occurs in approximately 2013, not before after the next Presidential election. Do you think this is just coincidence?
