Though Congress is away for the month, the Congressional Budget Office is not. CBO is the source for most of the cost estimates we use to report the cost (and occasionally savings) of legislation, and it continues its work even during the dog days of summer (- which haven’t been all that bad this year, by the way!).

Here are the bills most recently analyzed by CBO, and thus reported to you here on WashingtonWatch.com with their cost per family, per person, etc.

H.R. 263
The Cybersecurity Education Enhancement Act of 2007
Costs $0.09 per family

S. 3341
The Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 2008
Costs $2.15 per family

H.R. 404
The Federal Customer Service Enhancement Act
Costs $0.55 per family

S. 1933
The Small Community Drinking Water Funding Act
Costs $26.27 per family

If you want to see all bills as their cost estimates come out - it’s a decent sign that they’re moving - you can use the Cost/Savings RSS feed.
