re: #119 albusteve

these are estimates…like the 8.5 ceiling on unemployment before the Turnaround!….get a grip

I know, both side love the CBO estimates when they fit their agenda, not so much when it does not. Why we even fund a independent office to give Congress the data they ask for, just to ignore it is beyond me.
Last week it was the Dems saying CBO’s estimate of heath care costs was high, and the GOP jumped on it, this week, the CBO is the bad guy because is lower then the the GOP likes. Why bother ?
