Added to the weight of evidence that they are as dependable and faithful as a call girl.
I’m not convinced the author understands the function and restrictions under which the CBO operates.
In essence, the author slams the CBO for not applying political theory to the tasks before them. The CBO cannot use theoretical persuasions in their calculations, nor should we want them to.
The entity that should be condemned by the Cato Institute author is congress as a whole and the individual congressmen who submit bills with cooked numbers and incomplete/skewed/falsified data to them. That’s the form in which political theory and objectives enter (and taint) the CBO’s accounting reports, and it’s created by the snakes that are known as “staffers” to these congressmen. This has been going on for decades.
