People this is awesome. 4 former CEA chairs have written a letter lambasting Bernie Sanders (and all Republicans ever) for their pie in the sky policy projections.
The letter includes the phrase: "the Democratic party has rightfully earned a reputation for responsibly estimating the effects of economic policies."
Gee, guys. Hope you didn't hurt your shoulders patting yourselves on the back so heartily.
So I know what you are thinking, wow, good thing Christina Romer wasn't one of the people who signed the letter.
oooops??
Oh no she didn't!
Oh yes she did!
Here is an example of Prof. C. Romer's responsible estimation of the effects of economic policies.
Meanwhile, Paul Krugman is attacking Bernie and promoting Hillary based on the notion that Hillary's unicorns are less unrealistic than Bernie's unicorns. For Realz!
It's Mungo's world now. We are just living in it and giving thanks.
