I watch the local politicians dump money into ridiculous project in our Town....over budget and never on time.
Trump, Death Wish, the Wollman Rink, the Damn Fence, and the White House
> “ Its scoring of ObamaCare was not just wrong, it was clearly corrupt.”
It certainly was, and deceptive as hell too. Anyone working inside the CBO at the time knew what they were doing was wrong, very wrong and dishonest.
The only possible leniency offered to the CBO lemmings is that the democrats in Congress and in Obama’s White House put unauthorized coercive pressure on the CBO to score it the way it was scored which was to defer costs out beyond a number of years so that it could be declared budget worthy.
But CBO managers should have known better and should have blown the whistle. But they didn’t because they are cowards and they should be punished as the cowards they are. All they succeeded in doing was to defer their punishment to beyond the Obama years. The smart ones put their Beltway McMansions up for sale in Fairfax Country and Bethesda.
I would advise the Trump Admin to review those recently retired for dereliction, malfeasance, and dishonoring their oaths and to adjust their pensions down harshly if not eliminate them altogether. Let that be a lesson to those still in service who might think they can carry out deception against the American people in the future.
Diogenes would have died a blind man if he had spent his life in DC looking for an honest man. The partisan hacks are to be found in every nook and cranny, every agency and department. The CBO is only as honest as their leaders...which doesn’t say a good deal about their character.
DJT should drain the swamp completely. Those that haven’t worked for the American people should be facing penalties and face the fingers pointed in their direction.
There once was a time when honest persons were in charge. Alas!, that has not been the case in our lifetime.
Who runs the Congressional Budget Office? If it’s a creature of Congress, and the Republicans are in charge of both houses of Congress, why can’t they do something about the CBO?
Right on Newt right on. Looks like Newt has read Trump’s book.
