Typically, tax bills had been scored by what they call static scoring, which is just they assumed that the economy would never grow, even no matter the tax policy changed, and they assumed that people wouldnt change their behavior as a result of tax policy. We know that isnt true. I liken it to physics where they tell you assume there is no gravity. And you go outside and there is gravity. This dynamic scoring will be absolutely critical moving forward on any debate invo
We are also very concerned about the longterm issues of the registration of these products, in terms of the affordability of these products. This is especially important because this is unfortunately something that is going to keep coming back. We are not sure our organization in the future will be able to respond.

Today this appalling outrage in pakistan. Im sure the thoughts will be with the families and loved ones of those who parish. In australia, there are tales of extraordinary bravery and sacrifice now being told about what happened in that half fan that is what we would expect from people from that remarkable and great country. The scale of what has happened simply defies belief. It is
We can run away from this challenge. President ialquires leadership as much as it requires congressional leadership. That president ial leadership is why i think the focus here has been to make sure that, if we go into the next election, that we put usher on the candidates that are going to be the next president of the United States.

The darker line, the black line kerreydanforth projection from 1994 looking over the next 40 years. After 2035 is basically what they were doing. Cbored line is the alternative baseline which looked at 40 years from today. They are almost identical. Which, to me, says a couple of things. It raises an interesting question.
