Don’t like the numbers? Do what Congress does Change the way they are counted

Don’t like the CBO’s report on something ??? If your Congress it does not matter you can just change the source of the budget numbers. Congress has done this type of gimmick many times. Right now the Republicans are crying foul, however they too have used this same gimmick. The report from the CBO (Congressional Budget Office)is due out about health care reform and the price is going to be high. In order to lower the cost some Democrats want to use the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB)budget…. Why ? because on paper it gives them hundreds of billions of additional dollars to work with as they draft their plans.

The CBO’s job is to show the numbers, they don’t pick sides, while the OMB does pick sides, since it’s on the side of whoever is in the White House, since it is their projections….

This is not change we can count on, if people wanted to keep the same old same old we could have stuck with Hillary or McCain. The names change but the faces remain the same. We are still not a Government by the people for the people. We used to be, but that was before we started spending million of dollars on campaigns. The average person can not compete with special interest groups that pay for the election campaigns. Another words each seat is up for sale to the highest bidder :(
