RE: There’s a Conservative Prof at Harvard ?!?

FROM Wikipedia:

From 2003 to 2005, Greg Mankiw was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President George W. Bush. In 2006, he became an economic adviser to Mitt Romney. He is a conservative and he writes a popular blog about economic issues. According to the IDEAS/RePEc rankings, he is the 25th most widely cited economist in the world today.

So. He worked for Bush and Romney. Bush was not exactly an economic conservative, and neither was Romney.

I don’t know what his course actually involves, but I suspect he is probably “conservative” only in the eyes of leftist morons. But hopefully, he teaches basic economics and a variety of theoretical positions, and not some ideological nonsense.

If he advised Slick Willard on economics, he can’t be a Conservative.

Considering Bush never vetoed any spending and brought us the horrible Medicare drug coverage expense, this guy must not be much of an economist.
