The Congressional Budget Office “Audit”

The CBO or Congressional Budget Office has become a major tool of lots of foolish shenanigans in Congress. Its activities have become a form of “audit” of the legislative finances being imposed on Americans. It has, however, become chicanery, a façade of what it is not. Thanks to the bulk of the media which never explains, exactly, what the function of the CBO is.

In short the CBO does the bookkeeping for Congress. It calculates whatever Congress puts before it to calculate. If congressmen put in garbage, the CBO turns out garbage. The CBO gives no opinions or interpretation. Congress lies about its numbers and the CBO must report the same lies.

A perfect gimmick for the politicians in Congress with which to maneuver.
