On the recordJanuary 24, 2011
When you think about the repeal of the national health care bill, is that not a savings of $2.7 trillion, at least the elimination of a $2.7 trillion hole or an abyss on an entitlement program? Does it not reduce the debt by $700 billion? Are these not real numbers? And if we really wanted a number, if we were looking for the number, would they not have passed a budget last year?
