Today, for the first time, I actually paid attention to Macroeconomics. Lo and befrigginghold, I learned something. I learn a lot, actually. In celebration and practice of my newfound wisdom, I did something I don?t do very often at all anymore. I ate fast food for dinner, thereby increasing the Gross Domestic Product by a few dollars all by myself.
Incidentally, I wish I had some way to use or benefit from the observation that the word “deflator” sounds like you’re about to start talking about a Johann Strauss operetta.
