Question: When is less than $1 trillion actually more than $1 trillion?

[Aecetia]

“It’s no surprise that the Congressional Budget Office now says the 10-year, $938 billion health care bill passed by Democrats and signed by President Obama likely will cost at least $115 billion more. Those are projected future costs that Congress will have to vote on.”

“Most of the additional spending would go to community health centers, Indian health care and other programs that require annual approval by Congress. The new law authorizes that spending, but it can’t control what a future Congress will do.”

The number of U.S. voters who expect the recently passed health care bill to increase the federal deficit is at its highest level yet, and most voters continue to favor its repeal.

“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows 63% now believe the health care reform legislation signed into law is likely to increase the federal deficit. That’s up four points from last week and up three points from when the law was passed in March.Only 12% expect the law to reduce the deficit, down four points over the past week and the lowest level measured to date. Another 16% say the law will have no impact.The percentage of voters who expect the law to increase the deficit has ranged from 57% to 63% since March.”

“Congress will have to vote on” is the key phrase. Congress has not yet voted on them.

Talking about estimates:

“The bulk of the funds for Iraq’s reconstruction will come from Iraqis — from oil revenues, recovered assets, international trade, direct foreign investment — as well as some contributions we’ve already received and hope to receive from the international community.”

Oct. 2, 2003 – Donald Rumsfeld

If the above 2003 estimate were correct, we’d have health care paid for.

Who do you trust more to make estimates?
