Logical Analysis Report

Key Focus

You had projected OMB a 3.2% growth in FY 19. The congressional budget office said 2.4, quite a difference. Well we now have the actual, it's 2.3 very close to OMB. Now we don't have the actuals for any of the other years, but the differences between CBO and OMB is pretty dramatic on the economic numbers
At the end of the day, the projections are dependent upon GDP and economic numbers going forward and a big difference between the CBO projections and ours are economic growth projections going forward.
Speaker 1: (53:52)
You can understand how we are concerned about the tax bill adding greatly to the deficit because congressional budget office has been much more accurate than OMB. I just point that out and that's why we are concerned by these, we think, unrealistic growth numbers and as you said, you'll be able to come back and show us
Love to talk to you about that.
Senator Cortez Masto: (01:04:40)
But I disagree and that's my concern is this administration says one thing, but their actions are just the opposite and I think it is important for us to really talk the true facts and not what you come here and read in your statements about what the administration claims that they are doing to the benefit of our communities because I can tell you, when I go home to Nevada, there are still people struggling and I do want to talk to you about when you plan and you put together this tax bill that you've talked about and the economic growth, particularly when it comes to the budget, I keep hearing you saying that you're talking about the budget that shows gross domestic product growth will climb to 3.1% and that's your basis
That on social security there's just some savings in the increase of growth for fraud and other issues.
Senator Cortez Masto: (01:04:01)
But you do not disagree, this budget actually requests a cut of 90 billion for seniors on social security, correct.
Secretary Mnuchin: (01:04:09)
I believe it's not a cut
