Economist Lawrence Summers advocates combating inflation by greatly increasing the number of unemployed in America. We could go about that quickly by first firing all the Economists.
I find it humorous that the same people who lauded tRump for reducing unemployment now blame Biden for inflation. Where I work now the turn-over is crazy, everyone leaving for more money somewhere else. Other than paying middling wages, the company treats it’s people well.
Who was it—Romney, maybe?—who confessed that he envied the poor because they didn’t pay taxes? Or was it just that sermon about makers and takers (for all the world as though Venture Capitalists actually “make” anything at all).
Economists are the shame of academia. All of the other disciplines, even the one devoted to early 20th century Romanian comic books, twice a year gather ’round the Economists offices, point their fingers at them and laugh hysterically. Of course the Romanian comic book professor leads the laughter with his shout quoting bug bunny; “What a bunch of maroons”
Now for a bit of the truth that displays the true idiocy of economists. A few years ago, economists introduced mathematics into their field, so as to make it appear to be a legitimate science. To arrive at their “answers” they dropped all of the variables. This means 1 of two things…either they are really stupid at math, or #2 they can’t get the answers they want if they do the math correctly.

Record profits don’t effect inflation, it’s just good egonomics.

I had to Google “hobo stew” after reading this. There are recipes for it and it doesn’t sound bad. He really is a Lucky Ducky!
