You are close. Does the Senator know that when we wrote this bill we asked the CBO Director, Peter Orszag, to tell us in the Finance Committee what we have to do to minimize the phenomenon of crowding out? Of course the Senator doesn't know we asked him, but does the Senator know when we asked Peter Orszag during the markup--it is on the public record--were we extremely efficient and minimized the crowd-out as much as we possibly could, does the Senator know Mr. Orszag said, Yes, we were extremely efficient and minimized crowd-out as much as we possibly could?
