But the important thing is that their forecasts are used to determine the "cost" of proposed legislation, which in turn influences how policies are designed in the first place, and which policies are likely to get broad political support.Scott Grannishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028519647946868684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-67582815318580150382014-02-09T18:16:13.663-08:002014-02-09T18:16:13.663-08:00Scott, excellent article and thought again!
I hop...Scott, excellent article and thought again!<br /><br />I hope your correct about the CBO looking at tax increases/decreases the way you described.<br /><br />Is there a "score card" on the CBO Accuracy? A look back in time to determine what operative was the most accurate/Inaccurate?<br /><br />again thanks for the analysis.DocColoradohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671474713804309737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-36234745700577498672014-02-09T17:29:08.421-08:002014-02-09T17:29:08.421-08:00I can't believe for one minute anyone really k...I can't believe for one minute anyone really knows what effect Obamacare is going to have on the economy.<br /><br />The CBO is not omniscient.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-6977746928439223332014-02-09T17:25:50.823-08:002014-02-09T17:25:50.823-08:00This is not a post about the merits or lack thereo...This is not a post about the merits or lack thereof of Obamacare. It's about a huge change in the way the CBO scores the economic impact of changes in public policy.

The lion's share of federal income taxes are eaten up by just three agencies: DoD, VA and DHS. Oddly enough, the sacred cow VA is federally financed health care in federal facilities Benjamin Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14001038338873263877noreply@blogger.com
