This double-counting, frankly, is a bogus issue. It kind of sounds good on its face, but it is meant to confuse people. But even subsequent to that statement about the double-counting, even subsequent to that, is it not true that CBO came out with a subsequent letter that said still the budget deficit is reduced by $132 billion in the first 10 years and $650 billion to $1.3 trillion in the next 10 years?
