Obama’s economists thus designed a tax cut that would give us more money by decreasing the amount of income withheld from our paychecks. It was a way of outsmarting the taxpayers. The behavioralists were tricking us, as it were, into spending money that we might otherwise save. Sometimes such tricks are necessary. Remember: We’re irrational.
