The Congressional Budget Office was created in 1974 BECAUSE Congress needed a source of honest data divorced from the Executive Branch. Due to the Nixon adminstration, both parties in Congress decided Congressed needed data that the Executive branch could not distort. The CBO's job is to provide data that can confirm or contradict what the Executive Branch claims.
