Arithmetical abnormalities.
The Globe "Ideas" section yesterday ran a piece by
Harvard
economist Benjamin Friedman
arguing that the Bush deficit will bring economic growth to a halt.
Certainly Friedman appears to be well within the economic mainstream
in that regard.
But Friedman's third paragraph
begins, "One war, two terrorist attacks, and three tax cuts later
..." Hmm. Isn't that one terrorist attack and two wars? Or am I
missing something?
