I've always liked Newt. He's a common sense Conservative Economist.

If you want an unpopular conservative economist, it's hard to beat Phil Gramm.

Yes. Thank you for the follow up on this topic.

Me thinks we need more common sense Economist-type folks in the WH. I guess I am biased in that regard. In my mind's-eye, Economics is a 'religion' of cause and effect. A concept that too few people do not understand.

Both of our children were leaning left.

I told them that all of their electives would be in Economics & Accounting. Otherwise funding would be shut down. (Implicit laws of supply & demand ... hehehe).

Today... my daughter is working full time for a n oil-related company; and taking night cources towards her MBA. Our son is a business major, with Economics as his minor.

They are really leaning toward Conservative principles... Within a year, I believe they will be far to the righ of me; and I am to the right of Ghengis Khan.
