The Congressional Budget Office is under fire again for getting it wrong on taxes. Their latest report claims pro-growth tax cuts will blow up the deficit, just like they always do. These Washington number-crunchers never learn from their mistakes. Remember the Reagan tax cuts? The CBO said they’d wreck the economy, but instead, we got millions of new jobs and a booming middle class.
Steve Forbes isn’t buying the CBO’s doom-and-gloom predictions this time. He says these out-of-touch bureaucrats keep using broken math to attack conservative tax plans. Their models ignore how real people react to keeping more of their hard-earned money. When you let Americans spend their own cash instead of sending it to DC, businesses grow and workers win.
The CBO’s track record proves they can’t be trusted. They lowballed the economic boom from Trump’s tax cuts by trillions of dollars. Now they’re making the same old errors to scare lawmakers away from cutting rates. This isn’t about responsible budgeting—it’s about protecting big government and stopping conservative wins.
Every time Republicans push tax relief, the CBO waves red flags. But when Democrats want endless spending, suddenly the debt doesn’t matter. This double standard hurts working families. Sky-high taxes crush small businesses and kill jobs, while fat-cat politicians live high on your dime.
Forbes has the right idea: either fix the CBO or shut it down. We need honest accounting that respects taxpayers, not phony projections that rig the game for left-wing priorities. Let’s replace their gloom with real-world math that shows how freedom builds prosperity.
Reagan proved tax cuts work. JFK proved tax cuts work. But the CBO still acts like we’re stuck in some socialist fantasy where government knows best. It’s time to drain this swamp and put Americans back in charge of their money.
Here’s the solution—sunset the CBO’s veto power over tax reforms. Force them to use dynamic scoring that counts growth instead of static lies. And put business leaders, not career bureaucrats, in charge of economic forecasts.
The choice is clear: keep trusting failed DC elites, or side with hardworking taxpayers. America became great by embracing freedom, not bowing to pencil-pushers. Let’s abolish this roadblock to prosperity and unleash the greatest economy in history—again.
