the livejournal i kept in prison
an economist on npr tonight was talking about how clinton worked really hard to reduce the deficit, only to have the next guy squander it on tax cuts and a ridiculous war. the net effect being not that the next set of candidates want to save money but that everyone realizes now that fiscal responsibility is probably not all that worthwhile. yikes. at least democrats might start acting like democrats again
on a related point, he said devaluation of a country's currency isn't really a problem when the country's debt is in its own currency. "we're not argentina" he says. holy shit i say.
see this is the kind of thing that blows my mind, and if kristen were around, she could humor me and say "good job sweetie you learned things" and i wouldn't have to burden the internet with my revelations. also, she doesn't call me sweetie, that was just for effect.
