"The CBO is consistently inconsistent," Sen. Tim Scott 
(R-SC) told TPM. "They can't predict the actual results
 of a 10-year window, because life changes so quickly. 
  So I don't put that much weight on a CBO score." 

" And with numbers soo large …Whats a few million poor dead people … either way ? " –

“To tell you the truth, the CBO, I don’t see where they get it right,” he told TPM. “I don’t know what variables or parameters they use to score things. I don’t have a lot of confidence in the CBO process.”

So, I’m guessing you don’t understand partial differential equations and stress/load analysis. And yet you blithely, without question, drive your car across bridges and fly in airplanes.

It’s the facts cafeteria, folks. Where you never have to choose what’s actually good for you.

we want the CBO to use alt-scoring…

instead of calculating the cost of Dr visit and stitches when your kid gets cut just calculate the cost of band-aids…

given that vaccines cause spontaneous abortions and autism they won’t need tetanus shots…

learn how to set your own broken arm… apply splint…

after all Dr Carson leaned brain surgery

lowering costs for your benefit…

offer your own suggestions…

Trump: Obama’s insiders run CBO. FAKE. They also thought that Hillary will win the popular vote. SAD!

Republican lawmakers say that instead of the CBO score, they will rely on their own internal estimates of the plan’s cost and impact on insurance prices.

Yes, PLEASE do this!

Please Please PLEASE!!!

Becuz 2018 is close at hand.

Emerging from a closed-door meeting of the Republican caucus, Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA) agreed. “To tell you the truth, the CBO, I don’t see where they get it right,” he told TPM. “I don’t know what variables or parameters they use to score things. I don’t have a lot of confidence in the CBO process.”

He then went on to say that he gets all of his information from Alex Jones and Breitbart. Cripes, we really do have some stupid people in Congress these days. What part of “non-partisan” does this dope not understand? He probably has to take his shoes off and drop his pants to count to eleven.

Trump: CBO is old school. It doesn’t take Alt Facts into account.

That’s not right. I count 11-1/2 via that method.

Republicans oppose universal health care like that offered by every other industrialized nation.

The problem?

Americans are too healthy for republicans and should be sicker.

Are any of these guys married? Does this alt-complicated-econo-bullshit work with their wives when they talk money matters? Seriously.

This is the point in the conversation when wives take away your credit cards and put you on “a $7.00 a week cash allowance until you show some responsibility, dammit.”

Love who they send out to trash the CBO. Tim Scott and Dave Brat (the biggest fool in the House). Really? OF COURSE they’re going to score your nonsense, but hey…you will denigrate everything in your path and then whine about ‘faith in government’.

Are these alternative analysis still celebrating the Oscar win for La-La Land instead of Moonlight?
