Just one.

That does not mean I am opposed to all of them, just that the initial budget analysis is a complete canard.

So, if the gov't is 0 for 100 for all prior projections we're suppose to believe that this one will be right.

PS - No, I did not vote for Bush (jr) but for 2000 to 2004, knowing everything I know today, I'd vote for bush/cheney over kerry/edwards again and again. I'd prefer a third choice but that's what there is.
The war in Iraq is estimated to cost $3 trillion. If we stayed home it would cost us nothing.
The prescription drug act was touted to cost $400 billion. If it were not law it would cost us nothing.
Mis-stating costs isn't the real problem. Mis-spending is.
