Ugh - while I used to consider myself more conservative certain issues, I've decided (especially after 3 semesters in a row with economics up the A$$) that I'm not Republican (I knew that already), I'm not really Conservative... Sometimes, just sometimes, I'm not even Fiscally Conservative.... I'm an Economist. I've met economists (good ones, not economists that make me look like I got my PhD in Economics) from both sides of the political tracks, and they all say "I'm an Economist first, and a <Name Your Political Party> Second." And I find that I agree with them on so much, even if some of the other stuff (the morality crap I don't care for) I don't agree with.

If everyone would take macro and micro economics, the world would be a better place.

Sadly, GWB was never an economist.
