A Realist
The CBO isn't so off on numbers because it is Dem Run, it is off on its numbers because they have to accept the assumptions of those who wrote the bill. They can't, for instance, reject their assumptions if they use accounting gimmicks like double listing "savings", therefore every bill is always suspect regardless of who owns a majority in the Congress.
True, the CBO has to go with the information given to him.
