For those that don't recall, Obamacare was pitched at a cost of $940 billion over a 10-year period. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) scored Obamacare under the scenario they were given by the White House and Democrats in Congress. The reason for this was simple: Democrats had a $1 trillion self-imposed ceiling for the bill. At the time, the economy was in ruins and Congress faced a perception issue of big spending. Remember, this was after the $787 billion phony stimulus bill. But these are liberals we're talking about here, so they could've cared less about the cost. It only mattered what other's thought of the cost. What we know now is that Obamacare's cost was carefully calculated by Democrats and President Obama; the propaganda was carried by the liberal media.
