Jeffrey Anderson from the New York Post shed light on this smoke and mirrors trickery. Anderson describes the shady and misleading lower estimate by using:
"the same accounting trick as past versions: 99 percent of the costs don't kick in until the fifth year of that "10-year" period. The true 10-year costs are well over twice what Reid's advertising: $1.8 trillion."
As you can see from the chart Anderson made using Congressional Budget Office (CBO), projections, the Democrats count ten years of revenues from the scheme, but they don't count the costs until 2014. Remember, under their plan, the American people will begin to be taxed for this health care plan immediately. Of course in subsequent years, the revenues (tax increases) count for ten, and their costs count for ten, but they conveniently leave this out to get their foot in the door.
This is a sleazy strategy by the political crooks to minimize the cost and overstate the effect of the tax increases and mysterious cost cutting of "waste, fraud and abuse."
Only in Washington, D.C. can ten years be defined as six years and six years be defined as ten. (download the chart in PDF format here).

The man behind the sign is either an idiot, crazy or a racist (maybe all three). We won the election and now these sore losers will continue to spew their lies. They remind me of the Birthers losers, who even Bill O’Reilly have smacked down like true flies.
Preston,
Obviously, you're a lobotomized liberal, so let me help you with this.
The numbers are from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, not from the reporter. Can you grasp that? Probably not. I know Obama and his sycophants like you aren't really good with numbers.
Only a idiot, crazy, or racist (definitely all three) would label real numbers as "racist."
Government worshiping losers like you are the reason your Messiah can bankrupt the country, give constitutional rights to terrorists, take away constitutional rights of citizens, make friends of our enemies, and make enemies out of our friends. You're too busy licking his boots to notice.
Get off your knees, open your eyes, wake the hell up!
Money doesn't grow on trees, and if you can't wrap your head around that concept then you should obtain professional psychological help.
