The CBO Score, As Reported by Steny Hoyer (No Official CBO Numbers Released Yet)

Thursday, March 18, 2010 The CBO Score, As Reported by Steny Hoyer

House Budget Committee Ranking Republican Paul Ryan responds to an NRO query about the news this morning: “The Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that there is currently no official cost estimate.

Yet House Democrats are touting to the press — and spinning for partisan gain — numbers that have not been released and are impossible to confirm.

Rep. James Clyburn stated he was 'giddy' about these unsubstantiated numbers. This is the latest outrageous exploitation by the Majority — in this case abusing the confidentiality of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office — to pass their massive health care overhaul at any cost.”

This CBO reporting this morning really is remarkable to me — the news is simply what Steny Hoyer says it is.

If the Democrats can “deem” a bill passed, I guess they can also “deem” a CBO score.
