Andrea Joy Campbell: “We are adding to the information store. There is no way we can do harm by providing additional sources of information.…”

“We are adding to the information store. There is no way we can do harm by providing additional sources of information. As my good friend from Utah just admitted, the present system is so bad we have been estimating wrongly every time. In order to take account of both sides in this debate, this dynamic method is applicable to fiscal as well as tax policy. It is being used in three States. The errors in the observations that have been made in opposition to this amendment are simply these. We cannot do worse by getting more information. We are not substituting dynamic modeling for the present system, and I have no better criticism of the present system than the words my colleague from Utah made clear to all of us: The present system has got it wrong every year we can measure.”
