Michael Steele: The CBO is lying!!!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

"Asked to respond to calculations that the bill would save $1.2 trillion in the out-years following the first decade after implementation, Steele replied told CNN's Rick Sanchez: "I got two words for you -- or three words. Three words... That's a lie."

It's not, of course. It is an estimate based on a formula and data. And while it surely won't be dead-on-accurate, it's a well-respected basis for considering legislation. Steele, at the very least, should know this. Back when he was delivering a tour-de-force takedown of the health care bill in late July, the RNC chair cited CBO data eight times in an effort to claim it was a deficit killer."

5. Isn't it 4 words?

[BlueMTexpat]

6. I noticed that too! LOL

Steele and the truth are already at polar opposites. Having him know how to count would be asking too much.

9. "thatsa lie"... 2 words in Steelese..

:)

12. He can't count to three and we're supposed to believe him about the CBO

:eyes:

7. He disputes the CBO estimate of HCR costs, but he can't count the number of words in his response.

"I've got two words. No, three. Or is it four?"

What a buffoon. He's been an asset for the Democratic party, no doubt. I wonder if his offer to stand in front of the HCR train is still on the table? Loved that train-steer video that came out when Steele made that remark.

8. Steele and the Republicans are getting desperate now...

They know this is a game changer.

10. The CBO has been Repugs' buddy ...

[Brewman_Jax]

11. Give it a rest, Michael

your fellow repubs don't care what you have to say, and you have trouble spelling "CBO". :eyes:

[Jennicut]

13. So NOW the CBO sucks. It is only bad when Rethugs are in the minority.

[zulchzulu]

14. Don't look now, Michael, but weasels are flying out of your patootie

Jus' sayin'...

[KingFlorez]

15. It's jumping the shark to say the CBO is lying

Who does that? Wait, I don't have to ask, it's obvious.
