• Easy In, Hard Out (Updated)

  
  — Authority:

  I’ve been hesitant to write about this, since every time I try I just end up with phrases like “AN EXCEL ERROR ROFL!!!!” on the page, and I don’t feel like that entirely embodies what I would like to convey regarding the Reinhart-Rogoff situation. So I gave it the old college try on About.com instead . Some ...

  — Authority:
  Tyler Cowen links to this Matt Yglesias post from yesterday. The “money” shot is this one: There are two obvious points the author is making here.

  The Obama administration bemoans the cuts made by the sequester. Time to put on our thinking caps. These are the facts about the process in May 2013: Presidents propose budgets.
