Medicare 140,000,000,000 underestimate |
Today the President Bush admited that he made a $140,000,000,000 mistake on his
recently passed medicare bill.
from yahoo:
WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites)'s new budget will project that
the just-enacted prescription drug program and Medicare overhaul will cost
one-third more than previously estimated and will predict a deficit exceeding
$500 billion for this year, congressional aides said Thursday.
Instead of a $400 billion 10-year price tag, Bush's 2005 budget will estimate
the Medicare bill's cost at about $540 billion, said aides who spoke on
condition of anonymity. Bush will submit on Monday a federal budget for the
fiscal year 2005, which starts next Oct. 1

Can you tell us how much the Democrats WANTED to spend on the prescription
drug program? As you may recall, the Democrats have been demanding Medicare
overhaul and a prescription drug program for years now. Presumably the
Democrats had a dollar value in mind? Can you tell us what that amount was?
Thanks.
