1. Numbers that help President Bush are good

Numbers that hurt President Bush are bad.

Simple as that.

2. A few hundred billion here, a few there... pretty soon were talking real $

When the Bush administration proposed reform in 2003, the head of Medicare kept Congress in the dark that the package would cost more than $100 billion above what was being debated. Now it appears that even that number is far too low. The original estimate was $400 billion; then two months after it became law, the package was pegged at $534 billion from 2004 to 2013. Of that amount, $511 billion was specifically for the drug benefit. Now, lawmakers are estimating the cost could run to $724 billion.

So the cost almost doubled. What was the name of the accountant they threatened?
