Firstandten, I believe we are in agreement on most everything, but I can't just trust Obama on his word alone. I like Obama, but there's very few people outside my family I'll trust on word alone. I'll trust the CBO over even my very favorite politicians, but even terrible politicians can overcome this benefit of the doubt I give the CBO if they present reliable data to back it up.
Paul Krugman's honesty is alot more convincing way to garner my support than Obama's hopeful optimism that exceeds reality. I'm willing to pay more for more people being covered. There's alot of worth while government programs that personally have no advantage to me. But, as the guy said in "The Legend of Josey Wales", "Senator, don't piss down my back and tell me its raining" and if someone's lying to you about it raining, I'll tell you like it is.
