Senate Republicans are pushing back against the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) after it projected their major legislation could add $2.4 trillion to federal deficits over the next ten years. Prominent figures including President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson dispute the CBO's assessments, claiming they are politically skewed. However, the CBO was established to provide independent, nonpartisan budgetary analysis to Congress, separating it from the executive branch. Critics question the accuracy and relevance of the CBO's figures, raising concerns about its impact on public policy and legislative decision-making.
The CBO, established to provide objective budgetary analysis for Congress, faces criticism from Republicans, who dispute its projections of $2.4 trillion deficits over a decade.
Critics, including President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, argue that the CBO's estimates are flawed and politically influenced, despite its nonpartisan mission.
