These might seem like general ideas, but they are a clear signal that Obama and Sunstein plan to purge cost-benefit analysis of its conservative bias.
I am amazed that cost-benefit even has a long perceived conservative bias. CBA can, by design, go in any number of directions based on the factors put into the analysis.
Having a method perceived the way the article presents it either just goes to the awe-inspiring daftness people can exhibit when something the individual does without ideological pandering about their own mundane affairs, becomes a political hammer associated with a particular bent or the article itself is assigning a theory to explain otherwise simple opportunistic shifts in administration behavior.
