People around here know how to write legislation to manipulate the kind of cost estimate you're going to get from the Congressional Budget Office," Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) told Mark Levin on the radio.

"I sent a letter to the CBO. I asked them, 'well, now look at these budget gimmicks, ignore these budget gimmicks, what then?'" he said.

"This thing is a huge budget buster. So, what they have is a piece of paper of what they manipulated to say this thing reduces the deficit. I will eat my tie if that is the outcome of this law," Ryan added.
