OK, let me get this straight.
First, the Bush tax cut was going to save the economy; then it gave us a giant deficit. The it turned out to cost a whole lot more than the Bush people claimed it would, leading many in Congress (especially the Dems that voted it) saying they'd been bamboozled. I'm correct, right?
And then there was the war in Iraq, which was going to be quick, cheap, and easy (like Jenna Bush). Now not only is the war still going on, the cost has skyrocketed because the Bush administration gave Congress faulty numbers, right? And as I've posted previously, a lot of these shenanigans have been deemed deliberate.
And then there's been the recent flap about the Bush administration playing politics with science, omitting references from reports, skewing results, rewriting (or writing out) naterial in the service of its own political agenda.
OK, so now we have Medicare "reform". Can you guess where I'm going with this?
"The government's top expert on Medicare costs was warned that he would be fired if he told key lawmakers about a series of Bush administration cost estimates that could have torpedoed congressional passage of the White House-backed Medicare prescription-drug plan."
