I never liked the stimulus program; not because I necessarily disagree with big spending to boost the economy, but because it was so obviously poorly devised.
That’s powerful stuff. Good find Black Belt. The guy is a genius for a reason.
Ben Stein is not a genius outside of finance and economics. In fact when it comes to science he’s downright stupid.
What? How many geniuses are genius at things outside their fields? Was Mozart a genius at particle physics? Was Einstein a genius of French cooking?
Examples?
