Are there dumber people in the world than politicians in elected office?

I would suggest that the folks that work at the CBO have that distinction. They completely under estimated the cost of obamacare and have no understanding of tax cuts as just two examples.

The CBO operates under Congressionally set guidelines that require static assumptions in estimating the effects of taxes on economic growth. The reason is that the economics profession has not yet developed a consensus about how to calculate the incentive effects of tax cuts.
