Our check against the record

The record does not settle it

Checked against No published record can settle this sentence: it is a prediction ("will likely go down as") about how a law will be ranked; the Treasury's Office of Tax Analysis publishes revenue effects of major tax bills, but no ranking that a forecast could be checked against.

The record: Office of Tax Analysis: revenue effects of major tax bills

Context

Mandel's campaign made this claim about the Affordable Care Act during the 2012 race.

Topics: Health care, 2012 U.S. Senate.
