Wow, a politician who gets economics 101! Can we get some more of those?
- tnuc 14y agoMost politicians get economics 101. The problem is most do whatever it takes to get votes/popularity.
- tomflack 14y agoAnother outgoing politician.
- ninetax 14y agoA little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I'd rather have some more politicians who get economics 585.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoNot until they retire, it seems.
- pjscott 14y agoA lot of politicians display hidden depths of intelligence, clarity, and insight -- usually after they no longer need to run for office.
- anigbrowl 14y agoWe have plenty such politicians. We need an electorate that understands economics 101.
- Jach 14y agoSurely the simpler solution is a restoration of dictatorship (it worked wonders for Paraguay under Dr. Francia), with a Benevolent Dictator (plenty exist!) who understands Econ 101 (and, one insists, a great deal of other things the electorate is ignorant about that are highly relevant if one's job is running a country). It also tidies up the problem of inaction. But I'm sure the new report from the Organisation of American States will bring about radically new ideas that everyone will agree to implement immediately!
