Nutty Obama Birthers lawyer Orly Taitz and Alan Keyes, join up to discuss the craziest issue in politics in the last 20 years or so. I hope they keep it up, because the more time they spend proving that Obama is a secret Muslim not born in America, the less time they spend dealing with actual real things.
I fully concede that even on the right this is fringe-y, but its a good amount of 'em on board. The other great thing in this video is Alan Keyes in traditional Alan Keyes mode. Which we love.
The CBO's analysis implied that the House's health care bill would raise the deficit by that amount. It is equal to about 0.13 percent of projected GDP over this period.
By comparison, the Iraq War at its peak cost more than 1.0 percent of GDP. Put in per capita terms, it is a bit less than $80 a year.
