My old boss Bob Bartley used to advise all economic forecasters: “If you give a number, don’t give a date. If you give a date, don’t give a number.”

I’ll be happy to deny it once you provide proof to support it. As it is now, it is just your opinion.

More hypocritical fluff from the king (queen?) of multiple aliases. You continue to live up to the defenition of a troll, and then have the nerve to try to stick that label on others. The drivel that you prattle out, without any citations or evidence, is nothing more than hot air. Hmm, will that be your next screenname on this site?

agent’P: I’d like to remind you –as we’ve had to remind TeaBagged and Practical Girl and others who have crossed over the line of conduct mandated by the FF editors, that personal attacks like the one you launched above, are not tolerated in this civil, public square of ideas and enlightened discourse.

I get that you’re angry. I get that Obama seems impotent and that makes you mad, foaming and frothy mad, even. I get that you’re mad the farLeft mandate is proving to be as vapid as Mrs Obama’s latest cause celeb.
But your anger should be directed towarding trying to fix their failures, not shoot the messengers who point out the failings and flailings of the Obami.
Google for your self as I suggested above… it’s kind of enlightening. Everything’s there. The information is easy even for you to comprehend. And then follow the instructions in #44. ok?
No one gave the farLeft trolls at FF a “right” to expect that others should labor for them when the answer is just a step away.
And be mindful of the FF Comment Policy, too.

Oh my, advice on proper commenting etiquette from someone who regularly traffics in infantile behavior in these parts. That’s very amusing, which also describes my mood, far from being angry. But since we’re giving advice, perhaps you might take a closer look at the comment policies of this site rather than simply linking to them. After all, it is you who has attacked this site’s owner in the past when he dared to offer an opinion you disagreed with. Now run along and study up, dear.

dragonlady:The CBO score was based on the Senate bill and reconciliation proposal–both are publicly posted. Here is the CBO preliminary estimate:

And here is the Senate bill and reconcilation proposal:

http://dpc.senate.gov/dpcdoc-sen_health_care_bill.cfm
If in the final CBO report this is shown to be incorrect, I’ll be more than happy to say I stand corrected.Much appreciated, dragonlady. I’m plowing through them now.
