and ultimately the cbo, congressional budget office estimated 8 million more americans would wind up on obamacare than did. which just goes to show while they put their heart into it sometimes they get it really wrong. ainsley: after it all passed then that sound bite comes out don t be transparent. the american people are stupid. don t call them attacks. call them mandates and it will pass with the cbo. steve: he is the architect. brian: here is the quote if the cbo scored the mandated taxes, which by the way it was, the bill would have died. somebody changed it. made a mandated. ainsley: why didn t the cbo pick up on that. steve: because the administration told them it wasn t a tax. then john roberts at the u.s. supreme court chief justice said it was a tax and. that s history. new and improved american healthcare act. brian: now up to republicans. hello, heather. heather: did you hear a storm is headed our way?
he aapologized for that here is what i think is disturbing about what he did. one is he talks about lack of transparency as the reason for the statute passing. bedrock for democracy and that s deceitful. use lack of transparency to get something done. he said the mandate is a tax. democrats have said it wasn t a tax. someone is not telling the truth there. he also said at one point in the video that if you are in a state that didn t set up an exchange. then you are not eligible for the subsidy, which is a profoundly important issue in the case. king vs. burwell which is before the supreme court and could probably really gut obamacare should the obama administration lose that did you get answers on any of those three? no. in fact, he said today that it wasn t a tax. so he agreed with the democrats. even though previously he had said it thing is not only do we have him on vape saying it s a tax. he wrote a textbook about public choice economics where he talked about mandates are essent
