Yeah, OMB is huge. It generally kind of gets thrown on the back burner among political types because anytime you have like math and numbers being thrown around, the journos can't handle it anymore.

And I think one reason Democrats hate him so much is they know he's smarter than they are, and they know that the guy is just โ He's so moral. He's so ethical. There's nothing they can do to make him look bad or make him look dishonest because he's just a good, forthright, moral dude.
