Yo! Looks like Veronique really wore her debunking shoes to this one!
GMU economists have to be the bane of this administration.
I don't get the graph that talks about Social Security, Medicare, and "Other Spending." Early in the graph it looks like this adds up to about 60%. Shouldn't it be 100%, by definition?
What did I miss here?
Veronique looks so angry in that still. Just when I thought I couldn't love her more....
