Every year they should count up all of their tax receipts and whatever they take in, that will be the budget. That way there will be no need for a CBO to score all of these fantasy budgets, you only spend what you have already collected. No projections, no estimates about what the economy will do the next ten years, no accounting gimmicks, you only spend what you already have.

Government isn't the only outfit doing this. I have a friend at GE who told me that a certain product line lost $100M in one year. I thought, wow, you're not doing very well, are you. But in actual fact, their sales TARGETS for the year were $500M and they only made $400M, so it went on the books as a loss of $100M. They actually went to press with a story that they'd lost money on that product line. Incredible.
The public needs to be better armed to read between the lines of public statements. This piece by Rush is good stuff. It underlines our feelings that the root system of budgeting and expenditures needs changing.
