720 billion is the new 400 billion, now that the Bush agency has come out at almost twice the proposed cost of the newly approved medicare program.
Mr. Emanuel said: “The new cost estimate destroys the credibility of the Bush administration. Officials were so far off in estimating the cost of the Medicare law. Why should we believe what they say about the financial problems of Social Security?”
Representative Pete Stark of California, the senior Democrat on the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health, said: “I told you so. We can’t trust numbers provided by administration officials. They’ll say anything to get a bill passed. And if the new drug benefit costs more, the extra money goes to their friends in the pharmaceutical industry, not to senior citizens.”
When will we learn, this guy just isn’t right for us?
