It's funny how Mitt always pats himself on the back for all the money he donates to "charity".

QuoteBottom line is it is 5 billion more then the original CBO estimate.
5 billion? put it in perspective, it's only a few weeks in Afghanistan.
Yep. And how does the deficit grow? Because all of the thousands of funding projects are themselves a drop in the bucket. Note: $5 billion is considered to be a drop in the bucket.
$5 billion. A drop in the bucket.
$5 billion.

QuoteIt's a big deal if it is 5 more on top of 5. It's less of a big deal if it's 5 more on top of 100 after looking at fresher data.
And this is part of the problem. Its not a big deal if it is 5 billion out of 100B?????
It is still 5B more. 5B is 5B

So repealing ACA would cost even more.

a 5% increase is "less of a big deal" than a 100% increase. Can't you agree?

when it's actual spending, yes. When it's an estimate of future costs, not so much. Then it's not really an increase, just a bad starting estimate. It may point back to problems with how this turkey was rushed into passage, but again, a 5% change in a forecast is not surprising. a 100% increase is, and suggests hanky panky in the prior estimate.

What was the cost overrun on the F22? The F35 so far? Littoral ships? The A12? The USS Gerald Ford?

Defense cost overruns make the ACA look like peanuts.
Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes ... known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.... No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. — James Madison
