I've personally worked with many economists and fund managers with $1 billion+ AUM (Assets Under Management).

It was mind-blowing to me how incredibly bad at math they all were.

I wouldn't trust them with my piggy bank.

The day Arafat got the Nobel “peace” prize was the day I realized that the prize had become a joke.

Build Back Better means destroying first.

And that’s precisely what Joe is doing.

Obama should have had them all on the Whitehouse lawn wearing those white lab coats again. I mean Biden.

Economics might be the only field where you can be wrong most of the time with no consequences. And the one time you’re kinda right you get an award.

The Build Back Better package will provide much needed support to a still-recovering economy, but it will accomplish much more than that. By meeting long-standing social needs, boosting long-term economic performance, and taking serious steps toward addressing the climate crisis we can already see unfolding, it would transform the U.S. economy to be more efficient, equitable, sustainable, and prosperous for the long run, without presenting an inflationary threat.


Wow, but will it address my rights for toilet paper?

Ivory tower morons! Phelps, Sharpe, and Sims surprised me a little. I thought they had some common sense.

Most economists have never worked through Don Patinkin’s “Money, Interest, and Prices” or read Hayek or Bohm-Bawerk. They are edufactured Ph.D.s without portfolio.

“They don’t know enough to know what they don’t know!”

Everything has been corrupted.
Politicians are liars.
Experts are frauds.
The courts are crooks
The mass media is mass misinformation.
It's like a giant game of Masquerade.

What a joke.

For what it is worth, here is the sign translation:

Looks like it is after 5 PM, time for a drink. I'll get tight, maybe touch some young girl's breasts, Jill will try to stop me, and the young girl's father will threaten to cut off my right hand. Whaddya gonna do?

I wonder if Krugman is one of the 17. I would be shocked if the blithering idiot was not

Joseph Stiglitz.

I remember his book “Globalization and Its Discontents,” and then he became part of the Globohomo War on Reason.

A real scumbag.
