    I wonder how often claims of previous, esp non-GOP presidents, were described as based on "no evidence," etc.

    BREAKING: Pres. Trump rejects independent study that reports an estimated 2,975 people died in Puerto Rico in 5 months after Hurricane Maria; provides no evidence to discount the study; declares, without evidence, that the higher death toll is political ploy to make him look bad.

    Wow. Mankiw is terrible on the evolution of money. No private mints. No banks taking deposits and issuing redeemable claims. And no concerns about violating contracts when redemption is suspended. Just one helpful government move after another. 🤣
