For those not keeping score, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) will come out this afternoon (in the US) with a report on the price of the... umm, you know, big bill they are dealing with. Once it is done the House can set a time to vote... probably late Friday or Saturday.
As long as the numbers show the plan will be a deficit reduction instead of a deficit increase it will be good news. (Of all the concerns of passing this bill, this is not one; it will show a deficit decrease.)
Update: It's a good thing I didn't try to stay up. It's not coming out until Thursday which means the earliest the bill can be voted on is Sunday.
Yipee! I've pretty much turned off the media when it comes to this fiasco...but still turn on NPR for my drive home. Unfortunately, the CBO report won't quiet the other side...
