After a few days of not seeing much to post, I have come across several things. (Note to new subscribers: If I go a few days without posting, it is because I have read nothing worth posting. You get what I think is worth your time, not just something for me to post.) This is a semi-rant from my favorite curmudgeon, Joan McCullough. There are some really thought-provoking concepts in here. Are government subsidies producing false productivity growth? And did you know the government is once again massively lending 0% money down for houses? Have we learned nothing?
