As Twitchy reported earlier today, the Congressional Budget Office now estimates that 7 million Americans will lose their employer-based health insurance by 2022, thanks to Obamacare. That’s not the biggest number in the report by a long shot. Those digging a little deeper into the report are finding that, given its current trajectory, the national debt is on track to hit $26 trillion over the next decade.
CBO projects that by 2023, total debt will = $26 TRILLION. We need a budget. The President has to submit a credible plan. #RequireAPlan

Wait a second. Does this estimate take into account the rich now paying their fair share?
