Is it me or Obamacare?

There have been a few things happening worth talking about, but no new activity for a while. So here is a question regarding Obamacare: What are the chances that the taxes, etc. that will be collected over the next four years to help pay for Obamacare will be saved up and available to actually help pay for the costs of Obamacare once the four years are up? I believe that whatever gets collected will be spent, and not on Obamacare. Since the Government has no discipline to dedicate and segregate money collected for a specific purpose (see Social Security), we can add those misappropriated dollars (for at least four years) to the cost of the Obamacare bill. What say you?

Fuzzy Med Math?

I just read that the CBO estimated the Sen Finance Committee health reform bill would cost $829 billion (Woo hoo! JUST that much!) over 10 years.
It also will reduce the deficit by $81 billion in 10 years.
I wish our family could celebrate when we spend $8,000 in order to save $800.
