Isn't that a violation of our fundamental understanding of how the right and left parts of our brains work? <BR/><BR/>At any rate, I appreciated that your proposal offered a serious and specific approach to our current economic woes. The Senate votes tonight. Some measure will be hammered out, no doubt. But this is, as they say, just the beginning.<BR/><BR/>I'll keep an eye on your site. It's a good one. <BR/><BR/>And thanks, yourself.EMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498850391392182578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939853.post-15604354403288664232008-09-30T22:31:00.000-04:002008-09-30T22:31:00.000-04:00Thanks!My background: one year of Freshman macroec...Thanks!<BR/><BR/>My background: one year of Freshman macroeconomics at Wash U., in St. Louis (home of Thursday's debate, BTW), which I largely pulled a Palin on (pretty much skipped class, just read the textbook, and showed up for the final). The rest: a combination of a physics degree and a creative writing background, so I think I'm pretty good at digesting abstract things like numbers and trends and putting them in human terms. <BR/><BR/>On this issue specifically, I've just listened to what the various economists (i.e., the people who actually know something about this) have been saying, and judging the political reality, and this seems like something that makes the most sense, to me.Martin Schecterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001489778016516848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939853.post-47096782667528508892008-09-30T18:25:00.000-04:002008-09-30T18:25:00.000-04:00This is the most thoughtful analysis -- and helpfu...This is the most thoughtful analysis -- and helpful proposal -- I've read anywhere.<BR/><BR/>I linked here from the site I write for: thesamerowdycrowd.com<BR/><BR/>How'd you get so smart?
