That line started as a joke. Then I thought: That's pretty funny for a guy whose primary activity is writing about the economy.


Then I thought: That's why I'm good at it. My personal involvement interferes little with the analysis.

...
Google+ Comments: Support for Google+ comments will be turned down, and all blogs using Google+ comments will be reverted back to using Blogger comments. Unfortunately, comments posted as Google+ comments cannot be migrated to Blogger and will no longer appear on your blog.
