I’ve heard that Baucus gets credit for it. But I was under the impression that some economist type from MIT wrote it. I remember skimming an article where the guy came out and said that it was doomed to fail. Makes you wonder if they put it together as some sort of sick joke to see what they could get away with and now we seem to be stuck with it.
Isn't that how L. Ron Hubbard created Scientology? Just a joke to see what he could get away with...
