Why?

Sounds a lot like the democrats estimates on the cost of Obamacare. Heck, that pretty much sums up every estimate the federal government has come up with for pretty much every healthcare program they've implemented.

Nobody should be surprised if the expansion of government workers is larger than predicted, and nobody should be surprised if 250 billion annual cost of Obamacare is, hrm, underestimated.

Can you show evidence they are hiring 16,000 new IRS "agents "?

SO basically the taxpayers have been paying banks like Sallie Mae the interest that is being "deferred" on the loans............w/ no reimbursement.

And now we won't?

That's the whole point of it.

I'm sure if someone wanted to dig through the budget they could find that line item and crap themselves.

#5 is a BIG WHY--one in which both the Left and the Right can agree on, or seem to. Hope the Supremes can help fix that outrage!

Obviously not at this point, Obamacare won't be putting guns to people's heads until 2014. My point was that generally government programs, particularly those that revolve around healthcare benefits, always end up costing far more than initial estimates.

So based on past evidence, Obamacare will cost American taxpayers more than currently projected. If it falls in line with other major healthcare benefit systems like the prescription drug benefit program or Medicare, we can expect costs to be anywhere between 5 to 10 times higher. For fun, take the estimated cost of your party's new 250 billion entitlement and do some math.
