W..."who moves from America to Canada???"<br /><br />Well it depends.<br />In the Revolution it was tories who moved North, and as their first legislative act in 1791 outlawed slavery.<br />In 1812 it was many more, but few stayed.<br />In the 1830s it was blacks. Se 1791 above.<br />In the 1860s some fled a secession crisis to a country no proince of which has ever seceded. See also 1791 above.<br />In 1914 it was a few who misguidedly wanted to fight the Germans.<br />In 1939 it was a brave and wiser few who wanted to fight the Germans, and who served valiantly in the RCAF or RAF.<br />In the 1960s it was young men fleeing a badly run war.<br />But smart grad students are always welcome!Ken Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976919713907046171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-77761171650156668202012-12-12T13:59:15.587-05:002012-12-12T13:59:15.587-05:00Carney is part of our plot.Carney is part of our plot.Ken Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976919713907046171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-88451481911353239042012-12-12T13:40:31.677-05:002012-12-12T13:40:31.677-05:00I think the fiscal debate is just depressing me.
...I think the fiscal debate is just depressing me.<br /><br />This is a step in the right direction, to be sure, and the language seems to suggest that if there isn't strong movement they're open to more aggressive action.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I would still like to hear Bernanke say that, and I do think there is something fundamentally depressing about learning that the unemployment target is 6.5% (which we all know means a higher unemployment rate because the unemployment rate is just an artifact of the question wording on the Current Population Survey).Daniel Kuehnhttp://www.factsandotherstubbornthings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-5183564557130691192012-12-12T13:34:09.607-05:002012-12-12T13:34:09.607-05:00re: Carney, I'm seriously considering moving t...re: Carney, I'm seriously considering moving to Canada.<br /><br />And I always thought the people that said that were idiots (who moves <i>from</i> America <i>to</i> Canada???).Daniel Kuehnhttp://www.factsandotherstubbornthings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
