White House Fights the CBO over Death Board August 11 (LPAC)—The White House is lashing out in all directions, having lost control over the country over its fascist economic policies. On August 4, Obama's "propeller head" fascist Peter Orszag, boasted that he had organized a large number of Congressional Budget Office health advisors to oppose their own director, Douglas Elmendorf. Orszag was on a rampage against Elmendorf who said in late July that the IMAC death board — Independent Medicare Advisory Council — would have little effect on savings over a 10-year span.
Several days later, an "independent" letter appeared that IMAC WILL reduce costs. Orszag was ecstatic, noting that the 13 academics who signed the letter to Obama, 8 of whom come from the CBO advisory board, are tops among "health policy wonks." The CBO advisors who signed the letter are: David Cutler of Harvard University, Alan Garber of Stanford University, Jose Escarce of UCLA, Paul Ginsburg of the Center for Studying Health System Change, Jonathan Gruber of MIT, David Meltzer of the University of Chicago, Joseph Newhouse of Harvard University, and Jonathan Skinner of Dartmouth University—many of them well-known behaviorist nuts.
