The problem with the CBO, or most economic forecasts...

The problem with the CBO, or most economic forecasts for that matter, is that they’re worthless ..

“In 2008, the CBO was predicting that the US budget deficit would turn into a surplus in 2011. Instead ended up being an $1+ trillion deficit for that year alone.
