Congressional Budget Office does estimates of the effects of laws and proposed laws on the economy. Such estimates get media play. What doesn't get media play is corrections:
In its March 2020 projections for fiscal year 2021, CBO underestimated revenues by 15 percent and overestimated outlays by 4 percent. CBO’s projection of the federal budget deficit in 2021 was more than the actual amount by 3.9 percent of GDP.
