Abstract
Abstract The formation of policy necessarily requires consideration of both facts and values. Policies are proposed because it is predicted that they will lead to outcomes that are desired. Ideally, a policy proposal will provide a clear statement of values and desirability of objectives on the one hand, and on the other hand, an analysis of current circumstances along with plausible and justified predictions as to the likely circumstances with and without the adoption of the proposed policy. The public debate of social policy may fail to meet these standards. Such a failure can result in fundamental obstacles strewn in the path of the resolution of the debate.
