Wanting to know just what important data they are providing to Congress, candidates and citizens, I looked it up.
Of all the questions we have about economics a d proposed p[rograms, nothing seems to be questioned by the CBO. This is an example of what they are working on...
The Congressional Budget Office
he Congressional Budget Office (CBO) provides the Congress with objective, nonpartisan, and timely information, analyses, and estimates related to federal economic and budgetary decisions.
S. 2071, Repealing Existing Substandard Provisions Encouraging Conciliation with Tribes Act
S. 1419, Early Participation in Regulations Act of 2019
H.R. 150, GREAT Act
S. 1211, Addressing Underdeveloped and Tribally Operated Streets Act
S. 1877, Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2019
S. 1309, a bill to identify and combat corruption in countries, to establish a tiered system of countries with respect to levels of corruption by their governments and their efforts to combat such corruption, and to assess United States assistance to...
S. 174, Securing Energy Infrastructure Act
H.R. 3409, Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2019
Preliminary Estimate of the Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act of 2019
S. 1052, Rare Earth Element Advanced Coal Technologies Act
Hmmm... That didn't seem all that important when we have pressing question that are needing addressed right now:
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974, often called the Budget Act, established the House and Senate Committees on the Budget to set federal spending policy and identify priorities for allocating budgetary resources. To support those committees in carrying out their responsibilities, it also established CBO and required the agency to prepare cost estimates for legislation at certain points in the legislative process.
So, I have these questions:
1. Does the Congressional Budget Office really determine the cost of proposed legislation and its effect on the country?
2. Do representatives from the House CBO Committee seek approximation of cost of “Medicare for All”, “Pay all Student Debt”, “Health Care for All”, and Preventing Deportation of Illegal immigrants yet keeping Sanctuary Cities going in major cities all over the nation.
So...
3. How can the CBO determine the cost pf the proposed programs if we do not know how many citizens we have in the country?
4. Are the efforts to prevent questions on the Census Form about citizenship preventing the CBO from determining the cost of federal program s already in existence and proposed programs by left leaning candidates?
5. Asking if the person filling out the form is not a citizen but has a visa for legally staying in the country a problem?
6. Assuming voting is a right or privilege, it is for those who are citizens. Is there a good reason we do not have Voter Id’s? What reason would be considered acceptable?
Any thoughts on the operation of the CBO?
