White House budget chief apologizes to CBO analyst

White House budget chief Mick Mulvaney on Friday apologized to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analyst, saying his criticism of the group should have targeted the director.

"It is the Director who bears the ultimate responsibility for reports delivered by the non-partisan organization," Mulvaney, the head of the Office of Management and Budget, said in a statement.

Mulvaney did not name CBO Director Keith Hall, a conservative labor economist who headed the White House Council of Economic Advisers under former President George W. Bush.

In 2015, Hall has tapped to head the CBO by Republican leaders, including former Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.), who is now President Trump's Health and Human Services secretary.

First, to the extent there was any bias in the CBO score, it would be in favor of Republicans, because the head of the CBO is a conservative who was appointed by Republican leadership. If anything, the estimate of 23 million losing their health insurance is too low.

Second, the fact that Keith Hall let one of his staff members be a scapegoat for the White House is disgraceful.
