More information you have in your head that you can explain to the next person the more impressive that you will be and the senatest person in the room should win the argument. They have the facts and so they should clearly win. And that is called a policy wonk. And i had many years on television and we would have a policy wonk on. And i could hear people turning off my show, going to a channel because it is boring, boring. The way you communicate, as Ronald Reagan taught, by example, is not through the mind. That is flow of information. I will give you information. Here is facts, here is figures, here it is all laid out for you. Where you move people, where you actually convince people, make them feel that you understand, that you have something to say is when you communicate with the heart. There is a huge difference. So when i do television, i always have some facts and figures. I know my material. And throw out a few because it gives me authority. If i tell you 56 million babies ha

I think the Obama Administration in the previous Bush Administration both deserve a lot of credit for pushing advanced investments in those and integrating some findings into their allocations to different programs consistent with what steve was saying. My only concern about this is in a court of law of evidence information that changes your mind. Its its not simply randomized controlled trials. Theres a lot of things that budget examiners and on b do that they make decisions based not just on how programs work on the same goes for members of congress and their staff. Congress get evidence every day by talking to constituents. I think its quite relevant to hear from casework experience about how well programs work. I think in general the evidencebased approach is great. But we should also be open to the idea that there are many different ways in evaluating how effective and efficient and equitable programs are.
