truckinslave -> CBO (3/21/2010 6:05:23 PM)

The Obamacare saga has put the meaninglessness of CBO scoring on the front page.
1. How can the Dems pass a trillion dollar entitlement program and have it scored to reduce the deficit? Include in the bill a two trillion dollar tax hike to take effect in the tenth year.
2. How can the Republicans pass a trillion dollar tax cut and have it scored to reduce the deficit? Include in the bill a two trillion dollar tax hike to take effect in the tenth year.
(I'm trying to be fair, here. It is, in my opinion, a bipartisan problem; or more accurately a problem for all citizens caused by both parties.
So: how do we reform it? Or: should we just do away with it? The manipulation is, I think, certain to become even more egregious.
