Re: Two Cheers For New Jersey! (Mark Schmitt & Kevin D. Williamson)

Re: The More Things Change (Robert Wright & Eli Lake)

Re: The Week in Blog: What's Wrong With Being Sexy? (Bill Scher & Matt Lewis)

Re: The Week in Blog: The World of Sugaring (Bill Scher & Kristen Soltis)

Well I realize I was only only reading the quoted portion of your post, not the entire thing, so I think I was being unfair and overly snarky. I apologize.

You think that saying that the BEST I can do with my time is to bang my head into the wall is NOT an insult?

It doesn't even matter if it was constitutionally obligated anyways. If foreign debt holders think they are not going to get the return they expected. Say, maybe, a reluctance to borrow as evidenced...

Re: I wonder how many cato 'Economists' fall on the IDEAS rankings?

Re: I wonder how many cato 'Economists' fall on the IDEAS rankings?
