  Created in 1974, the US Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has become one of the most influential forces in national policymaking. This title discusses the CBO's role in larger budget policy and the more narrow 'scoring' of individual legislation, such as its role in the 2009-2010 Obama health care reform.
