Jeremiah Cornelius's Journal: Bingo. Perfect Phrasing.

Are you really sure he out-wankers Paul Krugman and David Brooks?

Krugman exists to rationalise fake-progressive economic policy. Brooks? Waste of good space.

But they can construct a lucid policy argument for flawed postions.

Friedman? "Clap for Tinkerbele" nails it.

Yes.

You are prollly right.
