Amazing. The Secretary of HHS got in front of cameras today and essentially mocked how anyone could arrive at the 24 million number, all the while aware that his own internal numbers were worse.

Like at some point he has to know that he's an evil, deceptive bastard.

the deficit calculations have been like the only """"""good"""""" thing to come from the report


Some background on dynamic scoring:

quote:

ON ITS face, there is nothing particularly mischievous about the budget accounting rule that the House of Representatives adopted last week. It simply calls for the two nonpartisan bodies that keep score on fiscal matters, the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation, to “incorporate the macroeconomic effects” of “major” tax or mandatory spending legislation when they develop official cost estimates: That is, analysts are supposed to factor in the wider impact on growth, employment and inflation and how that might feed back to make the budget deficit larger or smaller.

The rule covers bills that affect at least 0.25 percent or more of the economy and then only “to the extent practicable.” According to the Republican majority that adopted the rule, this is simply to ensure that Congress has the best information when it acts — and it’s only common sense to suggest that the budgetary impact of a tax cut, say, must account for whatever additional growth that tax cut might create.

Well, yes and no. It would be strange, indeed, to oppose a methodological change that promised to give Congress, and taxpayers, more precise policy-impact information. Already, the CBO and JCT take account of micro-economic effects, such as the reduction in fuel consumption that might come from a gas tax hike. Yet a more aggressive “dynamic scoring” of tax cuts has been a longtime GOP desideratum, supposedly because existing methodology understates the cuts’ growth-enhancing magic; the GOP would also like to have the CBO’s imprimatur on its view that repealing Obamacare is pro-growth. Therefore, it would be strange if the GOP-backed rule change did not at least partly reflect Republican ideology, as Democrats loudly charged last week.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...m=.f88f8d042916

quote:

Recently, the CBO has been required by the GOP Congress to implement a new “dynamic scoring” method designed to represent that tax reductions can stimulate some economic growth. The calculation tweak has not been sufficient in the view of many conservatives, however.

Still need to read the drat thing, and read the takes of people I respect on that issue.
