My attitude is that it is either that or become Venezuela. The writing has been on the wall for decades. We’ve been living off the credit cards ever since we finished getting rich rebuilding the rest of the world and they started competing with us.
It’s this or the kind of austerity that would get a politician tarred and feathered for even mentioning it. So it’s this...

Worthless report. CBO uses static model, not dynamic.

CBO hasn’t been right about anything yet. Why should we care what they say now?

The cough, “non-partisan” CBO. The same one that told us what a wonderful deficit reducer Obamacare would be.

Then we have no choice but to cut welfare spending and foreign aid...and spending on illegals.

Maybe, just maybe, the LOSERS in government could freeze spending for 5 years and allow the economy to “catch up” to the frenzy of government spending?

The CBO never takes into account a dynamic economy.

CBO exists only to support money grabbers/taxes.

Why do Democrats still control CBO?
Past time to clean house there. The SAME CBO that was completely silent about $1.3 trillion Omnibus spending bill NOW wants to send out a report blaming the resultant deficits on the Tax cuts?

The CBO also uses the assumptions given them by the requester. They basically just do the math.

Is the CBO still using Obama Math ?
To: GIdget2004
I believe they predicted the same (not number but huge deficits) for Reagan’s tax cuts.
To: GIdget2004
B. S.
Reagan’s tax cuts doubled federal tax receipts.
What are those folks at CBO smoking?

And how much did the CBO say Obamacare would lower the deficit?

The GOP’s signature tax law is projected to increase the national debt by $1.9 trillion between 2018 and 2028
Incorrect. A tax reduction does not add to the Governments debt. Only Government spending adds debt.
