Hello and welcome to Serious Inquiries only.

This is episode number 24 and I'm your host Thomas Smith.

All right, today I've got some stuff to talk about as always.

So the CBO finally announced its analysis of Trump care or as you'll hear later I suppose

maybe I'll start calling it Ryan Care we'll see to be to be be, to keep an eye on that for later. Anyway, we're going to talk about that and I'm going to talk about the CBO in general because there have been a lot of Trump attacks on the integrity of the

CBO and allegations of how inaccurate it's been that it's useless stuff like that so

I wanted to take a look at what the CBO is, what they do, their predictions for

Obamacare, whether they were right or wrong, and their predictions for Trump slash Ryan

slash Republican care. And we can put those predictions into perspective.

I also in the interest of full disclosure today's voicemail segment is the bulk of the

show and the reason is there were some really excellent questions

posed in some voicemails this week and sorry I couldn't include everybody's I got I

got a lot but this was great because I had some great ones to choose from

and there were things that I just wanted to talk about anyway so the bulk of this

episode is going to be a really fascinating voicemail segment where I talk about four different issues that are

things that I would have wanted to talk about anyway. So thanks for those calls,

they were great. That's going to be later on, but for now, let's get over to our analysis of the CBO.

First, just to knock out a couple of quick news items. There was the whole tax release

fiasco last night as of when I'm recording this. Rachel Madhout tweeted that she had Trump's tax returns.

We come to find out it was just one from 2005

and then Trump released him himself to sort of scoop her.
