Do you have trouble deciding what to wear in the mornings?

No, it's actually because I don't care about half of it. Some of those things I am not completely educated on either, so it's not really any of my business for an opinion on it. What I do know, I have an opinion on.

Spending more money doesn't get you out of a recession.

Well it obviously does.

Recessions are caused by shortfalls in aggregate demand.

I'm not really an economics fan like you, so you're probably right. The real issues I'm concerned about here are the social ones. Like, do people really support a smoking ban? Fucking ridiculous.

Well, it depends if by "spending" you mean government spending. In that case, I agree, government spending is really fucking inefficient at curing recessions.

As for the smoking ban, I think it's only for public places.
