Who says government spending doesn’t work? (Actually, the Fairfax County school system is in a panic because assessments dropped 3%). Dracula (Obacula?) may be feasting on the rest of the country but things aren’t so bad here in Transylvania DC.

Turns out he was off by a mere $400. This from a man who does not even pretend to be a great economist.

[It goes without saying: My colleague Vox is a libertarian Austrian thinker; of course he’s on the ball about economics.]

Finally, they have assumed a palms-up attitude, resignedly wondering what the next bit of bad news will be. They seemed to be a lot more interested in having Peter Schiff as a guest when they could laugh out loud at him as he warned them that this was coming.

Yesterday, on CNBC, there was a moment of hilarity. Apparently Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama was scheduled to be first out of the gate in the banking committee hearing, but he gave his time to Ron Paul. CNBC carried the opening statement live, and it turned out to be a ringing denunciation of Fed policy and how it is destroying our nation. The announcers cut in, obviously stunned, and stammered about how that wasn’t planned, then went to commercial. It’s absolutely funny (to me), an accidental confession after two minutes of unfiltered truth slipped by the censors.

“Alright, Um, This is not going as planned…”

And who is that skank, anyway? Never mind, I don’t care.
