... (and almost as heavy). Like any good car salesman, Pelosi told the press her version of the low low price! for her new model, getting a credulous press to report that the monstrosity would only cost $894 billion — and the media dutifully reported that number, as well as Pelosi’s contention that it would not bust the deficit, without any of their (Bush-era) skepticism. Last night, though, the AP discovered that Pelosi left a lot of things out of that final price, and experienced their own kind of sticker shock : The health care bill headed for a vote in the House this week ...

It is like a magic trick, presto — ...

At the rate these people are churning out thousand-plus pagers (stimulus, cap and trade, health care, etc.), they’re going to have to build a separate wing of the Library of Congress just to hold this year’s production. After sifting through the bill’s deliberately obfuscatory, favor-laden language, it is clear that the Democratic leadership wants to pretend that last August ’ s town hall meetings , congressional budget watchers’ most recent cost estimates of up to $1.2 trillion (not “only” $894 billion), and Tuesday ’ s key ...
