re: #276 albusteve

funny how they come out with these devastating conclusions so soon after the budget was made public…how long has the CBO had the stuff?…must be a monster to crunch all those numbers so fast

Do you not understand what the CBO is? The CBO gets the figures from Ryan and runs this analysis. So, he provided them with the numbers.

They are a bipartisan, independent institution who reports on the realities of costs given the inputs. If there is a problem with the numbers— as many people claimed there were for the CBO’s output on the HCR plan— it is due to the numbers put into it.

So, take it up with Ryan. Or with the incredibly economically blinkered Heritage Institute, who’s numbers he’s using.
