(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obamas regulatory czar retreated from a 2003 academic report he wrote advocating that government assign a higher monetary value to the lives of young people than to senior citizens during testimony to Congress on Friday.
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Cass Sunstein testified in front of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations about the Obama administrations plans for reviewing and reducing federal regulations.
Im a lot older now than the author with my name was, and Im not sure what I think about what that young man wrote, Sunstein, 56, told the House panel. Things written as an academic are not a legitimate part of what we do as a government official. So I am not focusing on sentences that a young Cass Sunstein wrote years ago. So the answer is no.
Sunstein wrote the paper when he was a professor at the University of Chicago. It was titled Lives, Life-Years, and Willingness to Pay.

Im a lot older now than the author with my name was, and Im not sure what I think about what that young man wrote, Sunstein, 56, Chuckles all around , Cass! So you were a stripling of 48 when you wrote that. Well your boss was just that age when he launched his disastrous administration in '09, so let's just go back and wipe the slate clean on that too.

He was 48 when he wrote this paper.I passed 48 some ten years ago.I don’t consider my thoughts ,opinons, and beliefs held then to have been green and immature.I don’t consider myself to be so different now than ten years ago.28?Yes 38? A little.48? Hardly at all.At 48 most folks are who they will always be, absent a Road to Damascus experience.

Thanks Nachum. "George is gettin' upset."
retreated from a 2003 academic report he wrote advocating that government assign a higher monetary value to the lives of young people than to senior citizens during testimony to Congress on Friday... "I'm a lot older now than the author with my name was, and I'm not sure what I think about what that young man wrote," Sunstein, 56, told the House panel. "Things written as an academic are not a legitimate part of what we do as a government official. So I am not focusing on sentences that a young Cass Sunstein wrote years ago. So the answer is no."
So, he's not sure what the author with his name thinks about it now, and the answer (what answer?) is no.

"Things written as an academic are not a legitimate part of what we do as a government official. So I am not focusing on sentences that a young Cass Sunstein wrote years ago. So the answer is no." A long winded definition of the word "obfuscation".

If they need a real world guideline with hard numbers they can crunch to ascertain our value to the state, I.G. Farben received five Reichmarks per day for the able bodied, and two for the old or enfeebled.

OK. Sumstein admits to multiple personality disorder? Schizophrenia?
On another note, Sunstein can say he doesn’t know....but those he directs and manages do. They have made the actuarial tables.
