New CBO scoring of “compromise” porkulus released: $19 billion more than House version
“Lean,” my foot.
The CBO has just released its scoring of the Turncoat Caucus’s “compromise” porkulus plan.
As Hill staffers note, “CBO estimates that the package will cost $838.2 billion. This is $18.7 billion more than the House-passed bill.”
I’ve uploaded the CBO analysis in PDF format. Just click here.

Big suprise….
CBO knows what side their bread is buttered on.
Next up, they’ll cut 8~12 billion from the package, and back-slap each other on saving the taxpayer a lot of pork.
Porkulus is loathsome!
As was championed back in the halcyon days of the 1980s, “Just say NO!”
Who cares at this point. Today the Spendulus, tommorow the dow crashes. Next week TARP II, then the dollar crashes.
“Gird Your Loins”…
And stock up on ammo.
Where the hell are all the economists who should be against this atrocity? It doesn’t take one, but geesh, it’d be nice to hear what kind of devastation Congress will visit upon us all for the sheer stupidity of it.
We need our generation Sen. Joe Mccarthy to ask “Are you communist?”
Pogo: “We have met the enemy, and he is us!”
To Acorn goes the pork. Beans to the rest of us. This is a disaster, a nightmare come true.
Ever seen “Eraserhead”? I hear there’s going to be a new movie: “Pencilneck”. A real shocker.
Is any one watching that idiot give his press conference (interrupting my new episode of House, might I add)? The guy looks like a deer in the head lights!
His teleprompter must be taking a smoke break.
Exactly. Why do we need a press conference for him to lie to us some more about this garbage that’ll spend us into oblivion?
I think the character “House” should be asking The One™ some questions during his presser. Now that would be entertaining.
