But when did you begin yelling, r-r?

According to every comment ever uttered by jpb, you either believe his bullshit, or you're a neo-con limpball.  Never met anyone in my life that was so infatuated with Rush's balls.  We know he listens to Rush more than anyone on this forum, and he has a hard on for his balls.

It's obvious he's jealous of neo-cons, he's jealous of their politics and even more jealous of their balls.

It's amazing so many are such suckers for the neo conservative propaganda. People who will never in their lives earn enough money to get over the FICA cut off threashold continue to fall hook line and sinker for the BS rhetoric. IT'S JUST SO VERY AMAZING.

Greenspan on Heath Care Costs: Severe Consequences if CBO is Wrong

April 04, 2010 11:09 AM

Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan told me the probability that the CBO was too rosy in its projections of health care costs is “much higher than we would like”.  “You have to ask yourself, ‘What happens if we are wrong?’”, Greenspan said in my exclusive “This Week” interview.   The consequences, he ominously warned, “are very severe”.

TAPPER:  The president signed massive health care reform legislation
into law a few weeks ago.  You have expressed concern about the
legislation, as it was making its way through the process, about whether
or not it did enough to contain costs.  What did you think about the
final legislation?  Does it contain costs enough?

    GREENSPAN:  Well, the CBO, incidentally, Congressional Budget
Office, which is really a first-rate operation, says that it does.  The
problem is not their estimates, but the range of potential error in
those estimates.

    And when you're dealing with an economy in which debt is becoming --
federal debt is becoming ever increasingly a problem, it strikes me that
when you're dealing with public policy and you're in a position where
you have to ask yourself, "What happens if we are wrong?"

    In other words, in the case now, where our buffer between our
capacity to borrow and our actual debt is narrowing, for the first time,
I think, in the American history, there's a question, supposing we are
wrong on the cost estimates, and, indeed, they are actually much higher
than the best estimates can generate, the consequences are very severe,
whereas if they are too high, it's very easy to adjust.

    So I think it's -- it's -- there's an issue over and above the
question of what's the best cost estimate.  There's a policy strategy
here which I think requires us to lean in an ever more conservative area
with respect to judging...

    TAPPER:  So it might have been too rosy, the projections, you're saying?

    GREENSPAN:  Possibly.  I don't know that.  But I do know that the
probability that it might be is much higher than we would like.

JPB isn't the only one confused about getting "free" health insurance. I found this story this morning:

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/04/06/9 … -mass.html

An excerpt:


Questions reflecting confusion have flooded insurance companies, doctors' offices, human resources departments and business groups.

"They're saying, 'Where do we get the free Obama care, and how do I sign up for that?' " said Carrie McLean, a licensed agent for eHealthInsurance.com. The California-based company sells coverage from 185 health insurance carriers in 50 states.

McLean said the call center had been inundated by uninsured consumers who were hoping that the overhaul would translate into instant, affordable coverage. That widespread misconception may have originated in part from distorted rhetoric about the legislation bubbling up from the hyper-partisan debate about it in Washington and some media outlets, such as when opponents denounced it as socialism.

"We tell them it's not free, that there are going to be things in place that help people who are low-income, but that ultimately most of that is not going to be taking place until 2014," McLean said.

Did anybody catch this?  Sen. Max Bauchus (D) calls the healthcare bill what it is.... "an income shift."  We already knew this.
