This administration's unprecedented lack of transparency and fiscal discipline is insulting to Congress and the taxpayer,\u201d Grassley said. \u201cPresident Biden and Vice President Harris shouldn\u2019t count on Congress to go along with their plan to stick Americans with the bill for a bunch of unclear initiatives \u2013 especially today, when households are facing 20 percent higher prices than they were four years ago.\u201d\n\nThe nonpartisan CBO has analyzed presidents\u2019 budget proposals since the 1970s. Due to limited detail in many Biden-Harris policies, CBO hasn\u2019t been able to estimate their budgetary effects as promptly or precisely as past administrations.\n\nGrassley in March asked White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Shalanda Young if she would give CBO all the information it needs for this year\u2019s report to Congress. In response, Director Young committed, \u201cWe will provide CBO what they need to do this independent assessment.\u201d Despite this promise, CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) did not have enough information from OMB to produce independent estimates for more than 60 Biden-Harris budget proposals. Notably:\n\nCBO could not determine the total spending, revenues, deficits and debt under the Biden-Harris budget.\n\nFor the tax and mandatory spending policies CBO and JCT could assess, they found the administration overstated expected savings by over $1 trillion.\n\nCBO projects Biden-Harris\u2019 base nondefense funding request exceeded the spending cap enacted in the Fiscal Responsibility Act.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-biden-harris-stonewalling-prevents-cbo-from-conducting-complete-analysis-of-presidents-2025-budget"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.004382036626339, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
