Meadows says the caucus will introduce an amendment that will effectively defund the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and fire nearly 100 of its staff members.
In a speech at the National Press Club on Monday, Freedom Caucus chair Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) announced that another member of the hardline conservative group will attempt to shoehorn an amendment into the current federal budget negotiation that would strip the Congressional Budget Office of 15 million dollars in funding and 89 of its staff members. [...]
Meadows plan to “address” the CBO’s inaccuracy would be to bar them from conducting any independent analyses whatsoever. Instead, he suggested, they should simply mix together the studies of various partisan and corporate-funded think tanks.
In the realm of cosmically-bad ideas, this ranks pretty high up here.
This really bad idea failed yesterday.
