Lileks nails the whole economy, tax rebate thingy.
Not that I mind if I get to keep $800 of my money rather than letting the government spend it on, well, whatever they’re spending it on these days. Defense mostly, apparently.
There’s a boom and then there’s a bust. Having lived through a few, it’s annoying to hear the same fargin’ end-of-the-world hairshirt orations, especially from those who have spent their entire lives walking around with a bucket of black paint and a brush looking for good news to deface.
When it comes to the economy, it seems like the real damage is always done by the repairmen.
Well put.
