House Minority Leader John Boehner is clearly pleased with CBO Director Doug Elmendorf’s testimony before the Senate Budget Committee.
As I noted earlier today, the fact is that the CBO hasn’t analyzed many of the bill’s cost saving measures, and that, other cost-saving provisions haven’t yet been written or otherwise remain unrealized.
But Elmendorf said what he said, and it’s no surprise that Boehner’s latched on.
