LETTER: Missing the mark

It’s no surprise that the Congressional Budget Office under projected our country’s budget shortfall this year. This was not a rounding error. The new number is 27 percent — $400 billion — higher than the original estimate released in February. This is just another example of bureaucratic governmental ineptitude. These so-called budget experts, if in the private sector, would be put out on the streets for their incompetence.
Maybe I shouldn’t be so critical of the CBO as it is just trying to keep pace with the head spinning, out-of-control spending of the Biden regime. Yeah, maybe that’s it. Nah, I don’t think so. It’s just proof of more backbenchers in the federal government who couldn’t make it the private sector.
