In A Positive Sense Policy Evaluation Functions Functions of Evaluations: Perspectives Evaluators: Do it Right; Comprehensive; Personal Politicians: Accountability; Exposure; Ammunition Public: Do They Care? Generally Somewhat, But Media?

Same Rules of Policy Analysis Proper Media Exposure DO NOT RELEASE THINGS PREMATURELY Budget Policy-Outline Huge Topic ? Whole Course on Budget & Taxes Budget Institutions Historical Development Budget Process ? Abbreviated. Budget Deficits What to Do? Summary Budget Institutions Legislative Side Budget Committees Appropriations Committees Support Staffs ? Crucial (Great Entry Jobs) Executive Branch President/White House Staff/CEA OMB Agency Budget Offices Historical Development Constitutional Provisions Taxing Powers to the House of Representatives Historical Development: Wars and Crises Civil War: Congress Tries to Recoup Powers 1867 Appropriations Committees Created. World War I: Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 Required Presidential Budget ? Not in the Constitution Established General Accounting Office (GAO) Created a Budget Bureau ? located in Treasury. Vietnam War: Budget Reform and Impoundment Act of 1974 Set Up modern System Impoundments Immediate Problem (By Nixon) Established Budget Committees Required Comprehensive Look At the Budget Required Five Year Projections Modern Budget System Presidential Budget ?

Done By 9/30 What Has Really Happened? Budget Roller Coaster 1980s ? With Tax cuts and Recession, Enormous Budget Deficits Congress Fights Back ? Congress ?Learned? - Picked the Right Approaches By Trial and Error Clinton: Increased Taxes 1993, 1997 Result ? Projected Surplus of $2.2 Trillion 10 Yrs Then Bush Administration: Enormous Tax Cut; 9/11; Iraq. $300-$400 billion annual deficits ; Obama Later Summary Budgeting is Crucial ? Programs Must Be Funded Annually; A Major Policy Tool Agencies Use Budgets to Allocate Between Programs ? Presidential Authority is Extensive Wars and Crises Have Shaped and Increased Those Powers Tax and Economic Policy Outline Institutions Process Basics: Forms of Taxation ?Standard Practice? Economic Policy Keynesian Monetary Supply Side Obama?s Problems Tax Institutions Legislative Side: House: Ways and Means Senate Finance Joint Committee on Taxation Staffs Again Important Executive Side: President/WH/CEO ? Varies With Presidential Style IRS Treasury/Office of Tax Analysis Courts Special Tax Court Since 1926 Can Carry Cases Over to Federal Court Process Tax Policy Varies Widely ? Wars & Crises or Normal Normal: Temporal, Incremental Use to be separate from the budget, but now part of it ? Often in Omnibus Bills Huge Numbers of Tax Loopholes ? ?Tax Expenditures? Wars & Crises: Continuous, almost desperate Tax Policy ? Basics Types of Taxes ? Federal: Individual Income Tax ? April 15th Corporate Income Tax Payroll (Social Security) Tax Customs and Excise Taxes ? Difference? E.G.s? State & Local Income Taxes ? Some Both ? Mostly State Sales Taxes ? Mostly State, With County Add-on Property Taxes ? Mostly Local Now Fees and Excise Taxes ? Both State and Local Taxation: Standard Process Highly Incremental-Remember the Theory? Fits Well With the Structure of Most Taxes: They Have a Lot ?Levers? that can be Tweaked Rates, Numbers of Brackets, Range of Brackets, and 1000s of Special Provisions (or Loopholes) Benefiting Every Imaginable Constituency The Results ? A Tax Code So Complex and Full of Special Privileges That No One Can Understand It. Possible Reforms & Changes Flat Tax: Get Rid of Many of the Exceptions and Apply One Single Rate Terrible Idea that is Politically Impossible Consumption Tax: I = C + S, Only Tax C. Coming in through the backdoor: 401k, IRAs Value-Added Tax: How Does It Work? Central in Many Countries, Unlikely Here. Economic Policy Classic Goals to Control: Inflation, Unemployment Institutions: Federal Reserve Board Seven Member, Independent Board Chair Alan Greenspan 1987 ? 2006; Ben Bernanke Since Treasury Congress Economic Policy: Theories Keynesian Policy: Manipulate Consumption Vary Spending; Vary Taxes Monetary Policy: Manipulate the Money Supply. How? Table 7-2, p. 192 Sell Securities Change Rediscount Rate Change the Reserve Requirements Supply-Side Theory: Manipulate Investment (Reagan Era) How? Primarily Using the Tax System Cut Taxes for High Income People and Corporations to spur them to invest. Reality of All of These: Monetary Policy Works Best: Independent and Timely Budget and Tax Politics as ?Usual? Increasing Spending & Pressure to Reduce Taxes Consequences Particularized Benefits & Tax ?Expenditures? Deficits Poses the Large Question? Why Does This Happen? Why All the Narrow Benefits for a Few People? Why Does Majority Rule Not Work Politics as ?Unusual?: Obama?s Problems both Old and New Inherited Bubble(S): Old: 1920?s Stock Market Bubble New: Simultaneous Stock and Real Estate Bubbles Bank Crisis Old: Early 1990?s; S & L Crisis of 1980?s New: Global Crisis Health Policy Outline and Introduction Background Outline: Traditional Problems Access Cost Quality Programs: Federal; State; Insurance Basic Reform Strategies Obama Agenda Non-Traditional: Larger Philosophic First Some Background Traditional Approach: Health insurance Through Employer; Private Doctors Programs: Veterans ? Civil War Medicare (1965) Medicaid (1965) Delivery: Fee for Service; HMOs; Managed Care Access Who Has It? What Demographics Matter? Geographic Differences Issues: Fundamental Right? What Services? How Much Are We Willing to Spend? Who Should Decide? Access (cont) What to Do? National Health Insurance? A Movement that direction completely destroyed in 1993 Fix the ?uninsured? problem ? 41 million (14.6%) in 2002, Possible ? Basics At Least Universal Coverage With Rationing Health Savings Accounts (later) Cost Highest in the World. In 2000, $1000/Person higher Than Next Highest. Grown from 8.8% of GDP in 1980 To 13.2% in 2000, projected to 17% in 2011. Hospitals (46%), Drugs (24%), Doctors (18%) Highest Categories (Table 10.8, p.252 in Peter?s) Private Insurance and Medicare and Medicaid 70% Combined What to Do? Shift to ?Managed Care? Cost Driven Originally HMOs (form of Managed Care) were preventive health ? here in Madison But Cost Containment Forced Most costs into third party payers (government; insurance companies); Control the costs actually paid, not billed Ration Services to a Degree ? E.G. Cosmetic Surgery; Limits on Mental Health, Drug and Alcohol Treatment, etc. But Not Working Well - More Later. Quality Much Harder to Quantify; Harder to Analyze Many Argue Best in the World (for those who have it); Others Disagree Infant Mortality High, e.g. (but poverty?) Life Expectancy up, but not highest Recent: Error Rates (44-88k deaths in 1999) ? If only 44k, 8th cause of death What to Do? Maybe more lawyers to sue more doctors! Simply Better Management of Hospitals and clinics Better Training - Not necessarily doctors, but much lower levels - LPNs, Nurses Aides Health Programs Federal Programs Medicare 1965 Three Parts: A (Everyone) ? Hospitalization Part B: (Voluntary -95% do it) ? Physician Services, diagnostic, hospitalization out services (Gov. 75%) Part D: Drugs Co-Pays and deductibles everywhere A lot of Reform Proposals Medicaid ? 1965 Also Health Care for the poor (44 million 2002): TANF, SSI recipients (poor old; disabled; blind) State administered, matching program Covers hospitalization, physicians, diagnostics, outpatient services ? According to a schedule which many providers say does not cover costs = refusals Federal government pays about half; states half; Changes in many states in the 1990s. Costs escalating almost out of control ? state deficits Veterans Programs and hospitals; Military too State Programs Children?s Health Insurance Program (Chips) Mental Health Programs and Hospitals State Hospitals (not many in WI) Private Insurance Through Employers ? Huge Issue in the Future; Will they be there? Or cafeteria benefits? Basic Reform Strategies Cutting Across Problems Huge National Health Insurance or Government Delivery? (Radical Comprehensive Approaches) Some say we already have it with Medicare and Medicaid ? just solve the uninsured problem Serious opposition from many quarters Clinton Problems Tinkering With the Present System (Incremental Changes) Market Approaches ? Health Savings Accounts Obama Agenda Guaranteed Insurance Eligibility National Health Insurance Exchange Tax Credits for Families and Small Business Large Business Play or Pay Required Coverage of All Children Expansion of Medicaid and SCHIPS Income Security Outline Low Income Security Programs Today The Major Programs History of AFDC/TANF (Welfare Programs) Impacts of 1996 Welfare Reforms Social Security Clarify the Law: History Clarify the Law: How it Works Understanding the ?Crisis? Reform Proposals & Analysis Major Income Supporting Programs Size: Medicaid (Dwarfs All in $) TANF ( New welfare) - Modest Per Capita Costs Childcare & Head Start Average Subsidy is for One Child History of AFDC/TANF Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) Origin ? 1935 Social Security Act Original Theory: Widows & Children Subsidy State Laws Vary ? Lack of Work Incentives Local Administration 1970s - Dissatisfaction Grows 1980s/1990s - State Reforms Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Origin: 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) Grew Out of State Programs Legislative History ? Comparisons to AFDC Methods of Studying Effects of TANF Reform Simple Time Series Times Series with Comparison Groups State Difference Studies Prior and Post Randomized Design Experimental Studies First an Overall Look Outline Clarifying the Law: History Clarifying the Law: How it Works Understanding the ?Crisis? Reform Proposals and Analysis Clarifying the Law: History A Child of the Depression Not an Annuity, Although it Looks Like One Floating Fund, ?Pay-AS-You-Go? Court Challenge - Supreme Court Ruled in Favor in 1937. Funding: Government Securities Many Amendments over the Years ? Expanded Coverage, Benefits, Taxes. Clarifying the Law: How it Works Taxes: On both Employee and Employer Covers All Social Security Programs (OASI, Unemployment, Disability, Medicare) Capped at about $100,000 Except for Medicare Historically It has gone up ? But last major increase in 1982. Benefits: Based on ?Quarters? and Wages ? Set Amount Meant to Provide Basic Security for All Therefore, favors the poor, and non-working spouses Age of Retirement: Early at 62; Regular 65 (to go up to 67); or later (more money) Married Couples Separate Amounts ? But Survivors Advantage Over Singles COLAs: Annual increase based on increase in ?average wages? ? higher than CPI Results: Successful in lifting people out of poverty Married couples do well if one non-working That is changing as more women work, many now better if they were two singles Still for about 1/3 OASI is sole source of income ? many of them below the poverty line. Understanding the ?Crisis? Two Critical Points When the ?fund? goes red (2017-18) When the fund is out of money and benefits cannot be paid (2041??) So Hardly An Emergency Medicare and Medicaid Much More Pressing Potential Reforms Retaining the Existing System Taxes: Increase either or both; Raise Cap Benefits: Whole Matrix of Possibilities Retirement Age: Early 65, Regular 70? Benefit Formula: Reduce; spousal benefit; survivor benefits COLA: Simply shift to CPI Never goes Red. Why? Compounding Effect Change the Structure: Focus on Privatization Partial Privatization (50%, phased in) Two Forms: Social Security Administration Manages Private Funds ? I.E. Drop Government Securities Requirement and Add Equities to the Fund Individuals Have Private Accounts They Manage Professor Witte?s Analysis Social Security Administration Invests Possible Advantages: Stocks do better than bonds in almost every year since 1929 ? Greater Return, Larger Fund Benefits Could Grow With Economy, Not With Prime Rate (Which Is Often Kept Low) Possible Disadvantages Risk: Could Lose, Economy Could Slow Down How the devil do you invest so much without distorting the markets Private, Individual Accounts Advantages: Possible Return Is Greater People Have an Individual Stake in the Country and the Economy Disadvantages Will it accomplish or threaten the basic idea ? to provide a secure, minimal retirement for all? I Think Yes, And Not Necessary. Why? Why Is Added Potential Return Not Necessary? Because Vested Pensions are a thing of the past and younger workers will all have individual retirement accounts (401k;403b, etc.) if they have anything. Thus they will already have a stake in the ?market? Social Security is needed as a ?rock? to offset the risks inherent in the other pensions Or it is needed to insure some money if no private pensions at all. So This is a portfolio diversification strategy Summary We should explore the idea of privatization of some of the fund Individual Accounts Seem Way Off Base But Oh would banks and mutual funds love either option, but especially individual accounts However, I Still Think that Social Security is a perfect example of incrementalism. Bush failure to sell privatization was predictable ? ?The Rail of Politics Holds.? Outline A. Definitions ? B. Environmental Policies ? Pollution, Toxic Waste, Environmental Justice C. Natural Resources ? Parks & Land Conservation, Wilderness Areas, Species D. Energy Policies ? Fossil Fuels v. Nuclear E. Coming Together ? global Warming and Sustainable Development F.

As in other acts, very specific Initially, and over time some very controversial cases: snail darter (TN); spotted owl (OR) But mostly quiet successes ? Bald Eagle; Whooping Craned; Condors; Timber Wolves; Cougars Energy Policies We Don?t Have A Comprehensive Policy Battleground ? Fossil Fuels Run Out? Yes! But When? Government Interventions ? Not Always Successful ? Carter and Oil Shale But Other Related Issues ? Pollution Dependence on Oil Countries Issues: Gas tax to gas at $4.00 per gallon? Nuclear Power? Coming Together Global Warming ? Green House Gases ? Primarily CO2 from carbon fuels. Kyoto Protocols China? Long-Term Effects ? Not Good Long Cycles Sustainable Development Not as Clear as Global Warming Development within current resources ? forests, water, minerals, fuel supplies, etc. E.G. Ethanol Production Cheaper? Better Environmentally? Or Farm Payoff? E.G. Wind Power ? Same questions Effects for Developed and Under-developed countries? Terrorism? Power Plants? Water Supplies? Ambient Spread Gases? Food Chain? Environmental Policies Players ? Environment AGAINST ? Big Business, but also small businesses, ranchers and farmers ? they add up FOR ? Environmentalists and conservationists, but also those who fish, hunt, and camp; and those who dislike things like smog and polluted water Highly Partisan Party Voting Records Constantly Extreme Republican Against; Democrats For Why? Direct Regulation ? Harsh Form:? Explicit Standards; Enforced; Sanctions Costs of Compliance High; Leads to Litigation Uncertainty Concerning Risk New Directions CAP and TRADE: In Emissions Reductions How Does It Work? [See Figure: Ger/Sweden] Cap is RReg; R*is the reduction at the trade price, P. Germany much better than Sweden. Both Produce to their respective R* with Germany exceeding required levels; Sweden falling short. But Sweden Buys Emission Reductions from Germany and Both Make Money ? Triangles. Other New Directions Collaborative Decision Making Includes industry, government, public, interest groups ? Avoid litigation and conflict Used in Europe: German and The Netherlands Not as successful in WI ? Green Tier Legislation Never Implemented Very Extensively Energy Politics Less Clear Cut ? Can Be Business Sector Against Business Sector ? e.g. Oil Against Agriculture But: Republicans Usually for Expansion ? E.G.
