Ok it doesn't rhyme, but it is supposed to be the Gold Standard, the Seal of Approval if you will.

This healthcare scam (bill) has been a backdoor, double dealing, riddled with payoffs, botched hatchet job since its inception.
The CBO is supposed to be a independent, impartial, 3rd party separate from the politics of government. If you recall when Obamacare was first brought to the table the CBO did not agree with the cost analysis of healthcare predicting it would be much higher.
In an unprecedented under handed move so indicative of this administration the head of the CBO Douglas Elmendorf was invited to the White House and miraculously he had a change of heart. The CBO has been waffling back and forth ever since.
...Lets see now....Louisiana got this...Nebraska got that...The unions were taken care of...
I wonder what the CBO got...?
