The Congressional Budget Office is perhaps the only honest agency left in government. I am truly amazed that it hasn’t been corrupted or shut down.

I don’t know why you would think that. The CBO gave fantasy cost numbers for Obamacare that said it would reduce government spending. Everyone knew that their figures were bunk, but Obama used their bogus cost numbers as one of his main arguments for passing the law. The tax impact of 2 million lost jobs never figured into the CBO;s initial cost estimates and now seem like political cover for that organization as the true cost of Obamacare begins to emerge. Like the Bureau of Labor Statistics bogus numbers on unemployment, the CBO’s Obamacare cost numbers seem entirely political.
