I heard the author of this book interviewed on NPR this morning. She actually made complete sense and used facts (facts!) when discussing the federal budget and deficit. Finally, an economist that speaks English! One of my favorite moments of … Continue reading
Simple things
The Southerner and I have been married for two months now. In the last two months, we’ve moved (again!) and I started my last semester of grad school so it’s taken me a while to get around to working on … Continue reading
