Political and other opinions from Gavin Andresen. Friday, March 28, 2014. Stop with the lockdowns already. When I was in school, the Big Bad Boogey-Man was Russia, and we were afraid of nuclear war. I remember "duck and cover" drills in school, in case of nuclear attack. Looking back, wasn't that unnecessary fear-mongering? Which makes my skeptical mind wonder: is that just unnecessary fear-mongering? How many times has a school going into "lockdown" saved lives or injury? I also remember learning to sin...

GavinThink: Fiscal Cliff: meh
http://gavinthink.blogspot.com/2012/11/fiscal-cliff-meh.html
Political and other opinions from Gavin Andresen. Friday, November 16, 2012. Has had several thought-provoking tweets recently (he's @EconTalker. Professor Roberts was my favorite economist even before he invited me to be on his podcast. Because he is always rational and skeptical, especially. About data or ideas that reinforce his own biases. Listen to a few episodes of EconTalk. To hear what I mean. Fiscal cliff will lower federal spending from $3.8 trillion to $3.7 trillion. Oh the horror! Interest ra...

Stephanie's Town Meeting Experience: April 2008
http://stephanietownmeeting.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Stephanie's Town Meeting Experience. I established this blog when I sought and won election to Town Meeting in spring of 2006, in an effort to inform the people of Precinct 9 about my views, and to keep them apprised of how I vote on the issues and why.

GavinThink: Big Picture Economics
http://gavinthink.blogspot.com/2008/10/big-picture-economics.html
Political and other opinions from Gavin Andresen. Friday, November 07, 2008. Politicians love to talk about how they're going to make us better off. They'll give the middle class a tax cut, or declare War on Poverty, or stimulate the economy or spend money and create jobs. Our environment is cleaner and healthier than it used to be, too, because they figured out cleaner, safer, more efficient ways of producing goods and energy and entertainment. Does increasing the minimum wage make us more productive?
