“My thought on the role of growth in solving fiscal problems: 1. I'm in favor of dynamic scoring for both tax & spending plans--you should take into account the best estimate of impact on budget. 2. Dynamic scoring needs to be done by CBO/JCT, they're generally unbiased and reasonably efficient. As a result they often disappoint advocates. 3. Ideally CBO would also display other information than just growth, the sole goal of every policy is not necessarily growth, it might also be about providing health insurance…”

“I mostly agree with you @Claudia_Sahm. I expect colleagues to continue to have research assistants even if only for mentorship than because they need the help. Companies to have junior staff not because they need their current work but to train them for future roles.”

“You can debate the magnitude of people who move for tax reasons. But if you debate the existence you lose all credibility with me. I could easily name more than a dozen people I know who have moved from high-tax jurisdictions to low-tax jurisdictions to reduce their taxes.”
