As WS parodies go, they don't get much better than this

Arthur Laffer was the guy who in 2006 ridiculed Peter Schiff for suggesting there was a recession just around the corner ! He then welched on his bet with Schiff. Search for videos "Peter Schiff was right".

Well, if a government agency does too good of a job, there won't be as much of a problem, so they won't be as useful, so they might get a funding cut. So it's in their best interest to prolong and exacerbate the problem to insure their job security, and maybe even a raise.

Ah, dont worry. It'll trickle down.

Well, I'm not surprised Merle doesnt get more attention and posts, like Ron Paul.
