US Conservatives hating on the CBO is just part of the ongoing US conservative war against facts and truth. The basic aim is to discredit all possible sources of facts as 'unreliable', and in the resulting void conservatives are then able to make up their own imaginary facts based on what 'feels right' to them with zero opposition.
So they attack educational institutions, scientists, and the mainstream media as 'liberal' and thus untrustworthy, foreigners as not knowing what they're talking about or having solutions that wouldn't work in America, the CBO as unreliable etc. It's all part of their war on facts and goal of ignorance. It's sad to watch. I would pity you guys if you weren't such active and willing agents in the matter."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

But what do you expect from a bunch of career politicians who have at best the barest minimum experience in working in the private sector? The are utterly oblivious to what ought to be obvious consequences (look at what happened when Obama declared that full time work would be moved back from 40 hrs/week to 30 for another example).

Originally posted by Starlight View PostConservatives are vastly more guilty actually. Conservatives have been campaigning to have the CBO score things based on the fictional conservative fantasy of 'dynamic scoring' which is supposedly where the government lowering taxes makes the economy do so amazingly well (this is empirically false) that the government supposedly brings in more tax revenue in total from the lower tax rates. This allows the conservative crazies to get away with passing policies that balloon the debt by ignoring basic math and pretending to themselves and others than their policies that will run up huge debt will actually create a surplus when you factor in their imaginary and insane economic theories. It's just another part of the ongoing US Conservative's war against facts and truth and reality, and decent into fantasy and fake news and propaganda.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
