Sometimes I am astonished that they are so far off the mark. Let's get rid of them, save the salaries and use it to lower the deficit.

I'll go with this:
"Whereas politicians on both sides of the aisle have criticized the CBO when its estimates have been politically inconvenient, economists and other academics overwhelmingly reject that the CBO is partisan or that it fails to produce credible forecasts. There is a consensus among economists that "the CBO has historically issued credible forecasts of the effects of both Democratic and Republican legislative proposals."
We must have an organization to track our spending.
