Trust me, I'm an economist

Emission très marrante qui diffuse ces quelques paroles d'une grande sagesse :


Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. Inflation is when you pay fifteen dollars for the ten-dollar haircut you used to get for five dollars when you had hair. The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.
