“The overall cost of the package has been estimated at about a trillion dollars over ten years,” Carnahan said. “About half of that comes from savings and efficiencies in the system.”
Laughing.
Carnahan continued. “The congressional budget office most recently came out and analyzed the current plan and said that it was not only deficit neutral, which has been one of the important factors for the president and congressional leaders,” Carnahan continued, “but also that over ten years would create a six billion dollar surplus.”
More laughing.
An audience member yells out “If it’s so good why doesn’t Congress have to be on it?”
Why not?
