Boehner Latches On To CBO Testimony
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.

Actually, this isn't quite what he said. He said it would raise costs for the federal government, but Boehner and the GOP's allies in the press are trying to spin this as the costs that citizens will see individually.

If all has not been factored in, why is the CBO chief speaking about it at all?
