Yesterday I told you about the Congressional Budget Office estimate that said the House Democrat healthcare plan would save virtually nothing in terms of healthcare costs over the next ten years, yet it would cost about $1 trillion. Now that's some serious money. The Democrats have finally figure out how they are going to spin this one. The Hill writes, "Following a blow from the Congressional Budget Office, Democratic leaders in Congress likely will make the case this week that the healthcare reform plan has multiple benefits and cost savings that cannot be scored by independent congressional accountants."

Did you get that? So now the Democrats are relying on you to trust them and believe that somehow their bill will save money that just can't currently be predicted. Savings out of the blue ... how convenient.

Downplaying the CBO's estimates will be another tactic used by Democrats. For example, a leadership aide says, "At CBO, they are accountants, but we still have our case to make." Oh, so now I get it. The CBO is just filled with a bunch of pencil-pushing accountants ... but the almighty politicians have yet to have their say! Politicians are elected by the people! Accountants are not! Besides, accountants are boring.. so just ignore them.
