The author canvased all the assessments of government is programs put out by the GAO, the OMB, Brookings, AEI, Cato, and the Heritage Foundation.

He says that most of the assessments where either mixed or negative: yeah, that's what happens when you include 3 conservative groups and one moderately Liberial groups. To round things out wouldn't including 2 more pro-government think tanks make sense?

Ok, it's about time I tried to read something functional and practical lol

"Trump's budget, like the Social forces behind it, is powered by a perverse desire- to remain ignorant. Donald Trump didn't invent this desire. He was just it's ultimate expression"

Tooz is fantastic at boomeranging international events to show their effect on alternative events.

I had never even thought about the effects austerity might have on contracting the supply of super-safe sovereign bonds and essentially forcing many bond buyers to buy from the United States (especially durring the deficit expansion of the Trump Administration).

That's a sharp observation.

I should make a push to finish this Tonight.

We are in the home stretch here.

The Trump chapter. This aught to be a fun 35 pages <3

I'm so very close to the finish line.....


I really feel that this book should count as 2 books for my challenge. It is essentially 2 very well connected books: one on the prelude to the great recession/the American experience, and one on the world experience/the Eurozone debt crisis/the political effects created by these disasters felt in politics today.

So, why can I not update page counts anymore? I rather liked that feature

And now, I begin the section on the Eurozone crisis.

Most of this will be very new to me.
