Yeah I know...you don't like the CBO. I have no particular dislike of it. I just don't have a belief that everything they ever said was automatically correct, and that you must defer to them even after they have been shown to be wrong on a particular point. Did you like the fact that they overestimated the cost of PartD. Not particularly, I'd prefer accurate estimates. But estimates of the future are often wrong, the CBO isn't particularly bad here, it just, like everyone else, isn't perfect. what laws during the two years they co governed during the bush administration That's not the issue. I said, and you quoted - "but then most of those laws where passed when Democrats where in power". The Democrats have been in power for much more than two years. My full statement (adding in the parts you didn't quote) makes the point more clearly - "Some of it under previously passed laws (but then most of those laws where passed when Democrats where in power)".
