• Short Reply to Dr. Witt Regarding the Economy

  
  Acton Institute PowerBlog — Authority: 542
  I think the country IS discovering its inner Dave Ramsey. The savings rate keeps going up. People are self-consciously trying to protect themselves from uncertainty.

  Acton Institute PowerBlog — Authority: 542
  Contrary to the belief of some, the two realities referred to in the title of this post are not identical.
