My time studying economics was not wasted; I know that the prudential regulation in this country is a damn site better than is the case in the United States of Kablammo, but I still feel that tooting one’s own horn so loudly at what amounts to an ivory tower is just a little presumptuous.

It’s fantastic that other nations have apparently credited us with an enviable banking system, but still, the fiery red head that holds our nation’s unions by the pubes has still run rough-shod over the etiquette of not being an arrogant sod.

This is perhaps a little unfair but if you want reasoned argument you can find me over at my blog. Here I sit with an eye patch and moustache, the evil dimensional twin of Kieran Salsone.

You can read a vastly more authoritive opinion, and one that I generally agree with, over at John Quiggin’s blog.

And before you go asking me why I agree with him and under which economic models I base my opinion, stop. It’s for one pure, simple and undeniable reason…
