Wow. Just the spector of ObamaCare's soon coming, is already trimming the budget deficit "rapidly" even though it hasn't come close to full implimentation? Sort of like when the Apostles were healing the sick and adding multitudes of believers to the church. Even Peter's shadow was a potent force. Acts 5:15 (KJV)
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

True liberal believers speak up! Cause you can't make this stuff up. Paul Ryan may have been trying to making a point.

The gross-cost figure, as calculated by CBO, was actually $940 billion for the years 2010-2019. But it was a bit of a low-ball number because the law takes four years to fully implement. So it really only measured six years of major costs. (The CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation also calculated the law would slightly reduce the deficit in its first 10 years, because of new taxes and spending cuts that begin to bite in 2013.)

Opponents of the law have long complained that the real costs of the law were masked by the long implementation period, and so they pounced when the CBO earlier this month released updated estimates of the insurance coverage provisions, indicating that the gross cost of the law would be $1.76 trillion for the years 2012-2022. Hence, the NRSC’s claim that the bill was “twice as much as originally thought.”

The Daily Beast? LOL, "The Washington Post" is a little more objective. I prefer news from sources other than Obama reelection websites. Anyway, the intent of your article is to slam the integrity and intellect of Paul Ryan. Whose genius fairly shines like a super nova next to a candle in comparison to that of the author. Michael Tomasky, a regular on the ultra liberal circuits and is known to share the biases of the likes of MSNBC. I mean, if you put him in a room with Bob Beckel and Barack Obama, they would scratch each other's eyes out fighting over who was going to wash Obama's feet. :biglmao:
