I'm sorry if this sounds like labelling but more often than not, these arguments I get into politically all revolve around Republicans predicting a future different from what's bee predicted. Hey, I know you guys could be right. I mean, fair enough, but that's why repubs and dems will never be on the same page, because everyone is arguing an unprovable future. |
Really? The CBO is required to take into account the statistics fed into it. If they're told, "We're going to find a bag of gold that will pay for this program," then they have to take that as fact. Instead they were told only slightly less fanciful things like, "We're going to cut Medicare." In its own reports, the CBO has noted that this is highly unlikely to ever happen even though they are bound to assume that it will for the purposes of their estimate. By all means, though, continue your handwaving.
