And for the record it's going to cost wayyyyy more than $940b for the first 10 years. Once they actually have to start providing something for the money they're taking in the price is going to skyrocket.

Most defense spending happens at home too.

Dems deliberately proposed a plan that would not be fully implemented until 2014 and then gave cost estimations based on 2009-2019 and use that as selling point on its price even though the vast majority of that cost is in the final 6 years of the CBO estimate.

Sounds like the ARMs that were sold that helped topple the housing market.

30 year mortgage with 5 years of really low payments followed by 25 years of really high payments.

But if you do the average cost over the first 10 years, the payments are really cheap!

You mean the wars Bush got permission for from congress, or the brown people Obama has been dropping bombs on without congressional approval?

Yes, Obama did play some games with the numbers. But, anyone who was at all interested in the issue could easily find 15 years of estimates rather than the 10 years that were used.

But, there is another thing going on. Most of that money is money used for subsidies for insurance for the uninsured. Currently, virtually all those costs are already incurred, but, are spread out, very inefficiently, amongst folks who ARE insured, the health providers, and various local, state and Federal entities. It's not like these are completely new, out of the blue costs. They are just costs that the Feds are taking on because they are currently a huge burden on the rest of society.

You really have no idea what an estimate is, right?
