The author of the article, in the very same article, decries the CBO for being totally untrustworthy.
If you want to trust the CBO on the issue, great. If you don't want to trust the CBO on the issue, fine. The problem with the article is that it tries to do both. You don't get to say that the CBO is completely wrong about 90% of the issue but a totally reputable authority about the other 10%, where that 10% happens to agree with your particular interpretation. If we accept the CBO as authoritative on this issue, then we have to accept it as authoritative on its other claims, like how it drastically reduces the deficit and will bend the cost curve in healthcare. Do you agree with them there?
