If I correctly interpreted the Newspeak of the EC official, he said, "there are [financial] statistics and then there are politics"...and don't expect any promise based on the former to be honoured by anyone who practices the latter.
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
See you next Thursday? http://www.eventbrite.co.nz/event/3549008179?ebtv=C
ReplyDelete@Greg: "See you next Thursday?" I trust you aren't name calling? ;-)
ReplyDeleteSadly, when it comes to next Thursday we have something even better on at exactly the same time: the inaugural lecture celebrating the appointment of the first Austrian economist to gain professorship at Auckland University.
Perhaps we could meet up at Galbraith's after to compare?

ReplyDeleteAt least he is honest.
