The Minsky Moment

Of course - that has been my entire point. The world does not divide into "people who agree with you" and "people who are stupid/ignormauses or malicious".

The hard core Tea Party people that voted against Boehner have conclusively demonstrated themselves to be ignoramuses at best. 
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Terrible power point technique.
Agreed.  If you want to give a Word handout, give a Word handout.  Don't use PowerPoint as word processor.

That's some people's speed. I'd rather see them use powerpoint like that than have a deck full of grainy, overstretched images found on google. :bleeding:

Who do you think?  Tebaggers and Berkut, and everyone else who hates the concept of a black man in the White House.
