Personally, I tend to mentally round anything above 8×〖10〗^n or so to 〖10〗^(n+1), so they'd have to make it $799 billion to fool me!
Anyway, presumably the delay is also there because complex and sweeping legislation takes time to implement properly? I work in the Sarbanes-Oxley industry (peripherally, anyway) so I have some idea of that. But I like whining!

The delay is there to lower the 10-year price tag, because some Senators didn't want to vote for a "trillion dollar bill" (not that this stopped Republicans from calling it that). The stimulus bumped up against the same objection.
It's weird to think of our cultural affinity for Big Round Numbers having such a substantial effect on the two most important pieces of legislation this year. Also, as the currency inflates, this will gradually shrink the size of bills that Congress will consider passing, until the trillion dollar barrier is broken and it doesn't seem like such a huge deal.
Even if the Dems lose a few House seats in the fall, I can't see it being more than 10-15 tops
Dems ain't losing shit in November. When Steele was saying it was Armageddon, he meant for the republican party. Dems gains seats in both the house and the senate. People are tired of being lied to by the repubs. Mark my words.

Probably. You should never overestimate Congress, I guess. :-\
... What I expect to occur far sooner is all this rhetoric from the Republicans ("Health care reform is Armageddon! Ready your guns!") to finally push some redneck idiot over the edge and assassinate a Democrat. Then the sweet, delicious back peddling will occur.
"bu bu bu we never told them to kill Barney Frank!"
Looks like I'm ahead of the news cycle yet again. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36020850/ns/politics-capitol_hill/)
Conservative activists in Virginia posted the home address of Perriello's older brother — believing it to be the congressman's address — when suggesting in Web postings that those who disagreed with the Democratic lawmaker's vote should "drop by" to make their opposition clear.
The Charlottesville Daily Progress reported that one of the two activists who posted the address condemned the action and said he is "almost speechless."
