Pfuffnick's Nobel Economics Prize triumph hailed by many!

LONDON — The surprise choice of first-year graduate student Quintus Pfuffnick for the Nobel Prize in Economics drew praise from much of the world Friday even as many pointed out the youthful economist has not yet published anything in scholarly journals.

The new PhD candidate was hailed for his willingness to tackle difficult problems, his commitment to improving the economic system, and his goal of bringing efficiency and equality into harmony.

Waiting for the Nobel peace prize to be awarded to a future Harvard PhD who is currently 5 years old and in his 10th day of kindergarten.

Oh, wait... I guess that just happened!

[thank you fellow FR for that analogy, sorry no link/handle]

Yeah, Obama should have gotten that award too.

He’s doing such a bang up job on our economy.

Top Economist Says Unemployment Could Peak at 10.5 Percent
Mark Zandi warns on “FOX News Sunday” that the recovery will continue to be “halting” and “fragile,” backing up estimates from other economists that show unemployment peaking next summer and hovering above 8 percent four years down the road.

Quintus Pfuffnick... he probably got a couple votes on account of his name alone.

“...and his goal of bringing efficiency and equality into harmony.”

He is another commie flake, dreaming of social and economic justice in the NWO. The world is sick to death with them. The only equality that man can deliver is equality under the law, and that takes moral and ethical determination that commies inherently lack. Give me the economics of liberty.

Why make such a wild lowball guess? It could peak at 100% that way if peaks at 75% Biden can stand on his claim that the stimulus has succeeded "Beyond his wildest dreams".
