If I wasn't so sick lately I'd be up late too. We started my daughter in daycare two weeks ago and have been sick constantly since then!



The best example would be the ludicrous gas tax holiday bill. She supports it, and when confronted with the fact that *all* economists think it is silly for Econ 101 reasons said:

"I'm not going to put my lot in with economists"

I saw that. That was absurd and it made her look ridiculous.


and also:

"I think we've been for the last seven years seeing a tremendous amount of government power and elite opinion behind policies that haven't worked well for hard working Americans,"

Was that about oil, or was it a more general statement? The thing is, for most economic policies you can find an economist who will support it and another one who will oppose it. For ever economist there exists an equal and opposite economist.
