so much for your efficiency and streamlining pipedream. the CBO says it will add $52 billion to the deficit. So triple that and you will be close to the reality.


(CNSNews.com) -- The student loan overhaul legislation signed into law by President Barack Obama on Tuesday could add $52 billion to the deficit between 2010 and 2020 when the cost of the market risks and administrative expenses of the loans are taken into consideration, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported.

But here you infer that there will be less insurance company involvement

"The less insurance company BS controlling how you practice medicine, influencing your insurance (malpractice type) costs, and expanding your office costs (paperwork), the more doctors we'll have"



So which one is it?

The "wasteful government beaurocracy that administers this entire deal" is already long in place, and has been doing a pretty impressively good job, from my 15 years of contact with them.

Now please be consistent, and go over to the other thread, and explain how Obama opening up drilling off the southeast US shore, and closing off Bristol Bay, is a leftist, progressive entitlement program that will end up costing us billions in unforseen charges and expense.

There are no "death panels". There is no government involvement in one's medical care decisions. That's between you and your doctor.

There will be less insurance company determination of the same, as there are now consumer protections that prevent alot of that.

More younger people support Obama, especially those currently in college.

The majority of this board is older, so I expect this place to lean right.

But if people think Obama is done, I believe they are sorely mistaken.

It will be a long fought, split down the middle battle to see who wins the next election for President.
