The CBO said that 2.5 million people would manipulate their situation to get on the gravy train. That's less than 1% of the US population. That's hardly suggesting that "everybody" wants to get on the gravy train. 1% is a lot less than "everybody", isn't it?

"there's no way to really estimate this."

Translation...when the CBO's conclusions do not paint Obama in a favorable light, we must dismiss the CBO's ability to do quantitative analysis.
