“I consider myself fiscally conservative. Balanced budgets matter. Governments should plan for downturns when times are good, not search for explanations when revenues fall.” Read the piece
Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
