   One of the more idiotic remarks seen lately. Let’s hope they are kidding.

   Not much of an economist, is he? Spouting the “Broken Window” fallacy as a way of increasing GNP is not a good way of showing expertise.

   Lets say you rebuild to exactly the same value. But you have depleted savings and future earnings (if you have also borrowed to rebuild). Thus, GNP, present and future, has declined.

     I know its wrong, but I take strange comfort in the fact that the U.S. isn’t alone in having a complete imbecile as a national leader.
