I don't think the CBO numbers are as telling as the 14-15 month steady private sector job growth. Unemployment has decreased while the same time public sector jobs have been cut. Plus the Markets have gained back nearly all they lost. The DOW had dropped to 6550, it's running about 13200 last I checked.

I am saddened to read the CBO report, wish it were better. Hell I wish unemployment was better too. All I can say is even with the GOP blocking nearly everything that would help things have improved. If congress worked together like adults I think we'd be in much better shape. Also their approval numbers wouldn't be near single digits either.
