Can government involvement in anything actually save money? That is what some House members are saying: that the proposed health care bill will save $138 billion dollars over the next ten years. Further, an incredible $1.2 trillion bucks would be saved in the following decade, according to the supposedly nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
How anything funded by government can be nonpartisan is beyond reason. And more, how any proposed expansion of government power can actually save money seems unrealistic. Has there ever been a government initiative that saved cash, other than real and true budget cuts?
Do programs which encourage energy efficiency save cash? If the government spends money to help individuals save it, are we really seeing a savings in state coffers?
Do you actually believe that the health care bill will save money in the long run?
Just asking. And wondering whether there are any straight answers out there.
