- Some writings over at the NYT: an Economix piece on waiting for the markets to wake up reasonable Republicans, and a Room for Debate column on what the sequester has taught us.
- Explaining what I would do if I were Rep. John Boehner and noting that a potential deal to end the shutdown/debt ceiling debacles all comes down to him.
- Pointing to a ridiculous Tea Party protest against the government shutdown they themselves caused.
- Describing how financial markets’ reaction could help close a budget deal.
- Looking at market failures that cause the high cost of medicines in the US relative to other countries.
- Wondering if there’s a potential thaw in the budget fight — and if so, what was that all about?!
- Highlighting a presentation I did at Oberlin, where I debated my old friend but factual nemesis Art Laffer.
- Pointing to a useful Matt Yglesias post on why debt prioritization won’t work, ranging from it’s illegal to it’s impossible.
- Listing a few thoughts on Janet Yellen for Fed Chair.
- Laying out the 25th edition of Sequester Watch: remember, those who forget the sequester are doomed to repeat it.
