This from a woman whose party couldnt propose health care legislation throughout the time they controlled Congress. Where is your party's solutions? Also, having no right to be in the Senate either because daddy's little girl was appointed by her father after becoming Governor of Alaska. Each year you may win reelection, but only because you entered the Senate through nepotism to begin with not because of your credibility.

What COSTS are PELOSI & REID trying to hide???

By law, the CBO must eventually score the private-sector mandates which will reveal the $1.5 TRILLION costs that Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid are trying to hide.

Under the ***FULL SCORE***, the CBO will present...

NEW federal spending,

NEW state spending, &

NEW cost of the private-sector mandates!

The bill's ***TOTAL COST*** will be the sum of those three figures,

A sum that will reveal the costs that the bills author's have been hiding!
