Hey America - Neera Tanden is still full of crap.
As Twitchy readers, we know you already knew that, but still.
It works so well with her silly post about the GOP RIPPING HEALTHCARE FROM THE POOR TO FUND THE RICH! MWAHAHAHAHAHA
We have to wonder if they have any idea how ridiculous they sound.
We're shocked she didn't claim the GOP is pushing grandma off a cliff as well.
Yes, yes she does.
OH, and about the CBO:
From our sister site, RedState:
So yeah, maybe taking the CBO's word isn't such a great idea. It also should be noted that the changes being proposed to Medicare and Medicaid in the reconciliation bill revolve around eliminating fraud, not cutting benefits for legitimate recipients (though that would be necessary for real fiscal sanity). Are Democrats arguing it's bad to stop people from defrauding the U.S. government? Because it sure seems like what they are arguing.
Still, I highly doubt that 13.7 million people will lose their health insurance, government-funded or not, due to anything in this reconciliation bill. And when the CBO turns out to be wrong again, people will go right back to pretending they are credible the next time they need a talking point. The cycle continues.
Say it ain't so!
Turns out lying liars lie.
