The New York Post says;
The Congressional Budget Office said the package of breaks - including obvious pork and some more defensible tax-relief measures - will add about $112 billion to budget deficits over the next five years because the bill doesn’t contain enough offsetting revenue hikes to keep the budget balanced.
A hundred billion here, a hundred billion there and pretty soon you’re talking about real money.

McCain does not even know how many houses he has, much less how the government would “buy up all the bad loans…”
