Welcome, Economic Policy Journal Readers!

I'm still busy with the current struggle for my daily bread (hoping I can eventually earn enough dough from ECOMINOES to make it a full-time endeavor), and I've gained hundreds of new readers since Robert Wenzel mentioned me on Economic Policy Journal. So, in lieu of a traditional post, I'd like to take this opportunity to steer my new readers to some of my better recent posts.

California: The GDP, Budgetary Woes, And Resistance To Austerity Of A PIIGS Nation
