In assessing these effects the devil is in the details. But note that this is a two-edged sword. I think not. I fear that the old Republican political operative medicine of rosy scenario and falsified forecast is back. So I hope Robert Dole backs off, and does not do what his handlers are priming him to do.
Policies based on rosy scenarios are bad for the country, if implemented.
Yet campaign promises that are not implemented poison the presidency that repudiates them.
