Do you have a link to the CBO report? I can't find that one on the CBO web site.

Here is the article...

And Rangal's original letter.

Now - the report is pretty plain. There are no ACTUAL savings found. It theorizes that there MIGHT be savings down the line, but that is based on projections. Historically, the government's budget projections are highly unreliable. The upshot is that the CBO found no support for the claims that the House bill would result in savings. Obama's and Weiner's claims are all based on thier opinions or on speculative projections which may be less reliable than a 10 year weather projection.

In reply to this comment by potchi79:
Fantastic. I will seriously consider trying this if it ever happens to me. I'm already fed up with their ridiculous $10 fee for transferring money from savings when I overdraw my checking. It should be free unless I totally overdraw all accounts. That's what I thought the ODP was for.

Of course, every time they have to transfer money, a guy has to go into a vault somewhere and remove the cash and then drive it to another vault and put it in. I mean, that's how banks work right? That's why all the BS charges; to pay for labor, right?
