Michael Steele: The CBO is lying!!!
Edited on Fri Mar-19-10 12:57 AM by 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."

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.

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.
