"Remember: Just a couple of short weeks ago we were being assured of the infinite accuracy and trustworthiness of the CBO. "

I remember for weeks prior to obamacare passing, the CBO was coming out with figures detrimental to the bill, saying it would not be affordable, or something to that effect.

But magically, just a couple days before it passed, they gave it their full blessings - just in time to win over the few fiscally responsible blue dogs to get them to change their votes to "yes".

Now that it passed, CBO is reverting back to their previous stance.

Somebody, somewhere pulled a fast one and put the squeeze on the CBO...which I had been told was "non-partisan". yeah, right.

Washington DC and every government geek in it are crooks to the core; it will take years of defumigating to get the stench out of the place.

But, you gotta start somewhere, so come on November.
