Hoyer: OMB Director Mulvaney's Comments on CBO Analysts are Irresponsible and Unacceptable
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today in response to OMB Director Mick Mulvaney's comments about the analysts at the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office:
"OMB Director Mulvaney's comments challenging the integrity and expertise of analysts at the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office are irresponsible and unacceptable. His targeting of public servants for undue criticism, simply because he didn't like the result of the CBO's TrumpCare impact study, is further indication of a bully mentality that has characterized this Administration from the top down. When Trump Administration officials either disagree with or do not understand the impacts of their own policies, they prefer to attack the nonpartisan analysts who are doing their jobs with integrity and expertise. Instead, these officials ought to be rethinking the policies that the CBO and other independent experts have judged to be dangerous and change course."
