I hear that Volcker preferred mayo and Bernanke preferred miracle whip. You be the judge.

So miracle whip is as hyperinflationary as it is fattening?

As someone who doesn't specialize in taxes (or anything, for that matter):

A tax that should be raised

Probably the gas tax? Federal and/or state, idk.

A tax that should be lowered

Does a negative income tax for low-earners count as a reduction of the income tax?

A tax that should remaind about the same

The art tax in Portland, Oregon. It's current level of $35 per year achieves the optimal level of annoyance and tediousness.

A new tax

The CommentsRUs Flat Tax for American Prosperity, which takes a penny from each person in the U.S. and gives it to me. If you're a m'lady you may be eligible for a partial refund. ;)

But on a less serious note, a carbon tax.

A tax that should be abolished

The government. laugh track ZIMBABWE!!!!1

My comments:

  1. I have a question. What does anyone think about Lawrence Kotlikoff running for President in 2012? What do you think of his platform? I don't mean to run these "What do economists think is the best presidential platform" questions into the ground, but this was literally an economist running for president, so I thought you guys might care.

  2. I'm pretty sure /u/besttrousers is pulling the top post from /r/econpapers each week for the new AotW on /r/economics, so maybe consider submitting shit there, too.

  3. Working on my response to /u/cutlasss about the economics of prostitution legalization/illegalization. Don't worry! I just needed to find the time to crack open my old thesis and papers and get back into the swing of things. My thesis wasn't on legalization per se, but since that's the issue with the most lit (the econ of prostitution lit is surprisingly scarce) I had to cover it, as well.

  4. In the meantime, please come to /r/economichistory so that my existence is validated. I've got my RSS feed shit together so there will be actual content.

When in doubt, prax it out.

Sincerely,

Comments R' Us

1) His purple plans include proposals that Red Republicans would hate, along with Blue Democrats...its mixing oil and vinegar. His platform ideas seem to fail very basic game theory tests...he's asking people to act against their individual incentives... he should know better.

2) Zzz. Needs more shill.

3) Please let me know what the going rate is. For research...

4) I subbed your sub.

That, and
