The
CBO is once again screaming (in a nice, polite, rational kind of way) that the Administration's projections of real GDP and annual deficits, over the next ten years, are too high and too low respectively. Last week, the CBO released it's revised estimates of the President's budget proposals.

Now the CBO has released an analysis of the
real GDP under the budget proposal. A key point made in the director's blog is:

While the CBO office still advocates stimulus spending, it has consistently assessed the actual legislative proposals as having a moderate detrimental impact. These figures possibly explain the current push by the Administration to
promote its
budget and
tax proposals, and why Congressional members and the public alike are becoming
concerned about the long-term impact to the country's economic stability and strength.
