Wow, Sibelius really messed up on that answer. This Health Care bill needs to be put on ice quickly before we find some really bad stuff getting enacted.

@1polonium210 The actual $500 billion, however, will remain in the general fund of the federal treasury and is counted towards deficit reduction. If the trust fund cashes in its bond (and uses it to extend the life of Medicare), then that money is transferred from the general treasury to the Fund. and BTW, Gopers have been double counting Medicare funds since 1997!!! You won't here that on Fox Lies.

@1polonium210 What Shimkus calls “double counting” is actually the “unified budget process,” which is the way Congress keeps track of its dollars. Here is how it works: the $500 billion dollars (which comes in over a period of 10 years) is credited to the Medicare trust fund, which receives a treasury security worth that amount that will be paid out in interest when necessary.

@SciMasterGeneral LOL, This coming from the Grand Old sPenders themselves!

@conchf No, the bitch walked into a haymaker. If the government's actuaries recognize double-counting in Obamacare, you might think that Sebelius and her cronies might not attempt to make asses of themselves by proving that they can't perform basic math operations such as addition and subtraction.

[conchf]

Wow, the bully doesn't let her answer completely.

@TAMPADOC64 Yes this the fraud of the networks. We don't see Cindy Shehan on the news. She is still protesting both wars and Gitmo.

They should have to register as 501C's for the DNC.

@mueygringo Have you seen this testimony on MSNBC? CBS? ABC? Liberals will just say it's a made up story. made up by Fox News or by the Teabaggers. They have no touch with reality.

Bernie Madoff is in prison for this kind of accounting.
