If Obamacare costs $1 trillion and reduces the deficit $100 billion, doesn't it require $1.1 trillion in taxes?

It is a zero sum game. What the government spends, you have to pay for. So this bill will cost the average tax payer a couple of thousand dollars a year for less health insurance than they have now. Only in this Obamanation.

    You are doing real accounting, not creative government accounting.

    But I just love the people who believe that adding layers and layer of government bureaucracy will result in lower costs overall.

    But I think that what you say is taken care of by the fact that we have to pay for this 3 or 4 years before we actually start seeing any benefits
