Thanks, Paulitec.
I'm somewhat obsessed about economics because that is really the only thing that the elite give a crap about. Their economic policies are, in my opinion, destroying our nation.
I started out reading history at BU.
Had I known then, what I know now, I'd have majored in econ.
One can understand history far better if one understands the economics driving it, I think.
So, I've been playing catch-up on macro-econ for a long time.
Regretfully, I'm so far behind in higher math that getting a masters in econ at my age is pretty much out of the question.
Still, as Ben Johnson reminds us: "One does not have to be a carpenter to know the table wobbles."
I look at the American economic table and think that it's about ready to collapse.
