Letter to the Honorable Ron Kind

    

Formal cost estimates are among the many products CBO provides to policymakers and analysts to help them assess the effects of differing policies on budgetary outcomes.

    

The Congress uses CBO’s cost estimates to help it implement rules and procedures related to budget enforcement. Those rules and CBO’s estimates recognize the differences among the three primary components of the federal budget.
