The departure of Rush Limbaugh for Costa Rica is now imminent with the passage of the second health care legislation — the so-called fixes of the original bill. Limbaugh threatened earlier that if Congress dared to pass the legislation he would leave for Costa Rica, here. It was an offer that Congress could simply not pass up.
In his prior radio interview, Limbaugh stated to a listener: “I don’t know. I’ll just tell you this, if this passes and it’s five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented — I am leaving the country. I’ll go to Costa Rica.”

So I guess the CBO lied about the score on the health care bill, but it’s telling the truth about the 20 year deficit projections.
It was based on what was provided by the administration. Now that we know they used fuzzy math. Here’s the new CBO projection.
$8.2 trillion today
$20.3 trillion in 2020
And you say less than 10 in 2026. Of course that’s if he gets a second term. Big if Doc.
My bad Dr. Slart it’s headed toward $20.3 trillion so I guess with his cut it would have been 21.3. I feel much better now.
I said:
“President Obama just cut over a trillion dollars out of the deficit over the next 20 years this week.”

Bdaman,
I’ll bet you a public admission that you were right and I was wrong (against the same from you) that if President Obama wins a second term the CBO projected debt for 2026 (ten years after he leaves office) will be less than $10 trillion.
The federal public debt, which was $6.3 trillion ($56,000 per household) when Mr. Obama entered office amid an economic crisis, totals $8.2 trillion ($72,000 per household) today, and it’s headed toward $20.3 trillion (more than $170,000 per household) in 2020, according to CBO’s deficit estimates.
fell=feel
Rush is a disaster of nature … one should fell a certain amount of sympathy for the Costa Ricans.

Not true

“CBO report: Debt will rise to 90% of GDP”
President Bush is gone, but the flaming bags of crap he left linger on… It’s a good thing President Obama just cut over a trillion dollars out of the deficit over the next 20 years this week. I’ll put my trust in the Democrats balancing the budget (since they’ve actually done it before) rather than the Republicans (who never met an upper-class tax cut they didn’t like…).
Look what the CBO says now.

You see that did all this behind close doors so know one would know and now we are finding out. It aint good.
Sure Rafflaw what about all these companies they lying too.
AT&T Inc. said Friday it will take a $1 billion non-cash charge in the first quarter related to the health care overhaul.
40 percent tax hike on the over-the-counter medicines
John Deere expects after-tax expenses to rise by $150 million this year as a result of Obamacare
Valero Energy — said they expect to take a total hit of $265 million to account for smaller tax deductions in the future.
3M Company that it expects to record a one-time non-cash charge of $85 to $90 million after tax.
Medical device maker Medtronic warned that new taxes on its products could force it to lay off a thousand workers.
Catepillar announced it would cost them $100 million
I could go on and on. There are gonna be alot more unemployed people hitting the roles.
Look for alot of companies complaining which means stock holders which means citizens which means more anger,
rafflaw,
Are you implying that Republican members of congress are sometimes less than fully honest and completely correct?
Bdaman,
You have to stop reading that right wing conservative crap. Of course, the Republican congressman quoted couldn’t possibly be lying. We know that they have done nothing but tell the truth during the health care debate, right?!
On the topic of health care you better hope it gets reworked/appealed. It is bad news.
Obama cuts to Medicare revealed: -Cuts to inpatient psychological hospitals begin on July 1st; cuts in home health care; cuts in 2011 for seniors who use diagnostic imaging like MRI’s; cuts to other hospitals, nursing homes and inpatient rehab facilities will begin; in 2011 ;you will be prohibited from buying a power wheel chair unless you first rent it for 13-months.. 2012 Medicare cuts for dialysis treatments kick in; ObamaCare cuts HOSPICE FUNDING in 2012; On dialysis? – 2012 Medicare cuts for dialysis treatments kick in in; 2013, Medicare cuts kick in for hospitals who treat low-income seniors; 2014 brings more Medicare cuts for home health, and Medicare cuts for infections you get while in the hospital; 2015 – Medicare payments going for home health care get cut again.

We can only hope that Tush, I mean Rush, holds true to his lying ways and that he actually moves to Costa Rica next week!
