Careful what you wish for, health reform edition - That darn Congressional Budget Office keeps making estimates on health care reform that gives everybody sticker shock. The Atlantic reports that part of the blame for this goes to Obama's budget director Peter Orszag who beefed up the CBO to handle the number-crunching.

The cost estimates may be a little too honest for the White House. Prepare the (more flexible) OMB numbers.

Extra - Maggie's Farm "Health care reform: it's not about you."

More - It has begun: Nancy Pelosi attacks the CBO.
