But what you are just saying is great information, so that the American people can understand and hopefully our Democratic colleagues will understand, the cost curve goes up, higher than if we did nothing. In fact, this new estimate does not include any cost for the 52 new programs, 52 new programs that are in the bill that the CBO could not even measure and give us a figure for the cost because each program was authorized for such sums, blank check, such sums, funding level. So our leadership, Ms. Pelosi and company, have given us 52 new programs that are funded at such sums that they need and is not even scored or accounted in this new estimate of $150 million that the CBO missed because they couldn't even score that.
