Current Account Deficit: Still Not Debt
Don Boudreaux, GMU Economics department head, explains this with a very simple example. He also makes fun of Warren Buffet, which is always nice to see. Remember kids: Making money in arbitrage is very different from understanding what the current account imbalance means.

Heh. Reminds me of the best joke ever…
Q: What did the arbitrageur say to the albatross?
Fuck, I can’t remember the punchline. It’s good, though, I swear.
Also: “remember.”

Fine, I fixed it. Fine. Pedant.

What did the pedant say to the pedarast?
Oh, I forgot that one, too. Dammit.

Man, I’m disappointed in your comedy stylings these last few minutes. Why aren’t you at the bar?

Class. What’s your excuse? Isn’t it 5:30 in Texas?

Was still in the office. 5:00 is quitting time only in some vague metaphorical sense.

This isn’t exactly on topic, but I couldn’t help but laugh hysterically at a picture in yesterday’s Register-Guard sports secton.
