The Worst Kind of Weasel: Untruthful

This short segment, in their own words illustrates my point -- a false argument based on opinion and not fact. Those in office should know better, but they play to the fears of many who will listen without checking them out ... the worst kind of fear.

So, who do you trust? The non-partisan arm of Congress: the CBO (see below) - the Congressional Budget Office - or, those who seek political points to stay in power anyway possible? The choice should be obvious.

CBO: Since its founding in 1974, the Congressional Budget Office has produced independent analyses of budgetary and economic issues to support the Congressional budget process. 

The agency is strictly nonpartisan and conducts objective, impartial analysis, which is evident in each of the dozens of reports and hundreds of cost estimates that its economists and policy analysts produce each year. 

All CBO employees are appointed solely on the basis of professional competence, without regard to political affiliation. CBO does not make policy recommendations, and each report and cost estimate discloses the agency’s assumptions and methodologies. 

All of CBO’s products apart from informal cost estimates for legislation being developed privately by Members of Congress or their staffs are available to the Congress and the public on CBO’s website.
