No, that is not what the C.B.O. analysis says.

What the CBO says isn't the issue. The reality is the issue.

When the current reality is one thing, but the law calls for a change, they assume the change. Thus they are required to consider keeping the tax rates the same as today's as a cut, when the reality is that it is not a cut. And they assume that increasing spending in line with current law is not a change, when in reality it is an increase.

Yes they are statutory bound to do so. That only tells us the reason for this type of mistake. It doesn't make it something other than a mistake.
