Underestimation

Instapundit:
UGH: Texas HHS chief: ObamaCare will cost our state almost 20 times Waxman’s estimate. Maybe we should subpoena Waxman to testify about his numbers under oath.


$27 billion, not $1.4 billion. I think this sets the new record, so far. Medicare only turned out to cost a little over 9 times the estimates. So far.

No wonder Obysmal is suddenly so eager to drill for oil. As realistic numbers continue to come in, I expect he'll announce a new program to dig for gold. The less said about interest rates and the bond markets, the better.

Having Henry Waxman testify would be OK, but only if it's not televised. Hours of looking up his flaring nostrils? By all that's holy, we need to consider the children.
