The real cost of the Baucus bill--$2 trillion

"The CBO score of the Baucus bill is like a mystery novel with the last 50 pages missing. It fails to reveal both the full cost of the bill and the budget gimmicks that Mr. Baucus uses to hide that cost.

The Baucus bill will not reduce the deficit, and it would ultimately cost taxpayers more than $2 trillion—just like every other bill Congress has produced so far."

I hope this bill does some good.

If your idea of "good" is yet more concentrated power in Washington, higher taxes, and more fraud, I'm sure it will.
