Not surprised the CBO would project this, either.
The problem is that the most accurate part about CBO forecasts is that they are almost always wrong. :nod:

Seriously ^ this is spot on...
Have you seen all the articles and studies from Economists that explain how consistently wrong the CBO is
It's actually hilarious how many Economists call total bullsh!t on the CBO

And I agree with them

Its funny though...
The same percentage of Scientists have findings on Global Climate Change
Yet the Conservative Party calls them all liars

Hmmmm....
But when a group of organized professionals supports the Right ideology - They call them geniuses\
When a similar group does not support then - they are all automatically "on the take" and frauds

Odd.. :coffee:

Economists might be the only ones wrong more frequently than the CBO. They don't call it the dismal science for nothin'. :coffee:

CNBC has its perspective. There are others though.

Obamacare premiums to significantly spike: CBO

Well, to be honest, the CBO is chock full of nothing but a bunch of Economists in itself.

Much like all these predictions made by all those expert economists in the CBO, we're beginning to find out that there is an ever growing list of dire climate predictions that are being debunked by the real data. :nod:

Economist and meteorologist...are there any "professions" that are more consistently wrong yet we still eagerly await their predictions???

If you follow local reporting, meteorology has become amazingly accurate...at least in this area.

The purpose of economists is to make astrologers look good, yet Tball and the similarly-afflicted will collectively experience the world's largest nocturnal emission over whatever half-witted jabbering these quacks manage to babble without drowning in their own drool, and simply refuse to believe what the overwhelming majority of real scientists say in the most prestigious journals. This kind of mentality is how people come to believe that virgins have babies and dead men walk out of their tombs and fly away up into the sky. :ohno:
