Paul Ryan vs. Austan Goolsbee: The Grudge Match. by The Elephant's Child

I don’t know if you watch Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. I cannot embed the video, but  you can watch it here. The debate was between former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers for President Obama,Austan Goolsbee,  and Chairman of the House Budget Committee Paul Ryan. Paul Ryan mops the floor with Goolsbee.

Goolsbee demonstrates why the economy is still in the doldrums. It’s a pretty clear demonstration of how far apart the two sides are. If you believe in Keynesian stimulus, wasting taxpayer money on government bets on improbable energy companies invariably run by Obama bundlers or buddies, then you will find nothing untoward with Mr. Goolsbee’s claims. I would tell a kid of mine to avoid his classes. If you enjoy political confrontation, this is great fun.
