If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Heard that a lot from conservatives over the years.

Even though the Congressional Budget Office has been doing a job good enough to be used by both the Republicans and Democrats, conservatives want to change things and put a Republican-leaning economist in charge of the non-partisan department.

The purpose of the CBO is to show how much a bill will or will not increase or decrease the deficit over a 10 year period.

They have effectively played the American as fools already.

Are they about to engage in some voodoo economics, relying on their ability to put their thumbs on the scale with no one noticing?
