Lew—I love this moronic line from Ken Silber’s essay:

“(Incidentally, he defines inflation not as a general rise in prices but as any expansion of the money supply, a neologism that produces nothing but confusion.)”

It reminds me of that great line (this may not be an exact quote) from Jimmy Breslin’s The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight:

“He died of natural causes. His heart stopped—when three men put knives into it.”
