I invite you to read this Forbes posting on Stupid Economics <\/a>by Laurence Kotlikoff.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t always agree with my dear colleague, Larry Kotlikoff, but this posting at Forbes is one that I can really get behind.<\/p>\n

Our president needs to start listening to serious economists instead of acting solo as an autocrat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This article is a two minute read that will make you smile regardless of whether you agree with all of the sentiments.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Larry is a serious scholar, of course, and his credentials include not only nineteen books, but also a stint on the Council of Economic Advisors under president Reagan.<\/p>\n

Let me know if I’m being unfair. But I think it’s time to call this for what it is.<\/p>\n
