David Schweikert's Congressional Address on U.S. Debt, Healthcare, and Economic Policy Challenges

Published | Video Starts at 41:18

If you look at the calculations, and I'm embarrassed, I didn't actually bring one of the board, which probably is good because it was really obnoxious. What did happen to that board? CBO projected when we did the 2017 tax reform, 2018, 2019, just before the pandemic, they were like 99.5, 99% accurate. Don't tell anyone because it'll make it harder for us to lie around here. And you get members saying, but over the next five years, they weren't accurate at all. (41:18–41:32)

CLAIM

Asserts that the Congressional Budget Office's projections for 2017-2019 tax reform were 99-99.5% accurate.
