The Bush administration said on Thursday that the new Medicare drug benefit would cost at least $530 billion over 10 years, or one-third more than the price tag used when Congress passed the legislation two months ago. ... The $530 billion estimate apparently does not include the cost of another feature of the new law, which provides tax breaks to people who establish savings accounts for medical expenses. Mr. Bush says he hopes millions of people will set up such accounts.

-- More details one might want to have when the law was exactly passed; going along with the (true) costs of the war, tax cuts, etc.

Damn Conservatives: Democratic members of the FCC commission are complaining media owners are not being charged high enough fines for violation of decency rules, such as Bono saying a bad word on an awards show. Oh grow the fuck up.
