President Bush has an MBA so he does have a least a theoretical knowledge of economics.

Bush has declared himself to be a "conservative Keynesian." His economics is the arranging of statistics and studies to show that government must be the helmsman of the Economy, that the market cannot work without being guided by government. He is ignorant of Economics. The Economics you get for your MBA is a limited subset of Economics.It is really Finance and not the same thing at all. I do not have an MBA but I saw all the material that my daughter got in her MBA. Fortunately my daughter already had a grounding in Econimics. I made her read Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson in high school and she went on to Friedman and Von Mises before she went to college.

Yes, but he got that theoretical knowledge caught in his zipper and can’t remember anything.

You'd think so, but he has been a disaster on domestic spending.

If I ever hear "Get a bill to my desk, so I can sign it" again, I'm going to punch my head through the wall.
