Is she STILL beating that drum?!

Nancy Pelosi, that is. In the face of a possible effort by the House to repeal ObamaCare, she's still claiming it will save taxpayers $1.3 trillion? Sure, if you:
  • Assume that no individual or company will change its behavior to avoid new taxes and regulations. Uh-huh. Good luck with that.
  • Move all kinds of health care-related spending to other bills, so it looks like this one saves people money. Medicare rate fix, anyone?
  • Keep pretending that government force can ever produce anything.

*eye roll*

That's funny because even former Enron adviser Paul Krugman thinks it will cost $1 trillion. Of course, he argues that it's not that much. Just don't visualize it, analyze it, or even really conceive of it. See there! Universal health for not that much. Just don't get sick. Ok?

Oh and I'm sure Nancy was telling the truth. I'm pretty sure she sneezed "negative" before the phrase "$1.3 trillion in savings". It's also opposite day and she had her fingers crossed. So her statement is 1000% true in reverse time.
