Breaking: CBO Just Scored the Boehner Tax Bill: Major Fail!!

by joelgp

Here we go again with one of the most incompetent, legislative Houses in U.S. history producing yet another laughable piece of legislation. They could have quietly given the middle-class a tax cut and headed home with their heads held high. But nooo!!!

That was just a bridge too far for them. They need to add “sweeteners” like the pipeline, federal layoffs and more federal cuts. Well, the CBO took a look at their ignorant document and said this according to TheHill.com:

1. The House bill will add $25.3 billion to the federal deficit over the next 10 years

2. Take billions from Medicare

3. Take billions from Social Security

4. Create another racist illegal alien ruse

5. Reduce Medicaid by billions

6. Freeze federal worker pay

7. Take 10s of Billions from federal worker retirement benefits

8. Take 31 billion from “Other” health provisions
