The Economic Expertise of Ed Abraham


By Peter Pike
December 11, 2008

Need a good laugh?  Read one of today’s news headlines:

Deficit Could Hit $1Trillion in 2009

Now, read some of the headlines of U-K’s resident economics professor Ed Abraham – pedantically posted over the previous two years:

More Good Economic News
Bush And The Economy:  Why So Negative?
The Economy Sizzles; The Media Ignores It
How Good Is The Economy Under Republican Rule?

Funny stuff, eh?  How about a choice quote from Ed’s prescient article An Economic "Trainwreck"? :

“For the record, the economy is not nearly in the dire predicament painted by the Democrat presidential "candidates" (and I use the term loosely). Inflation is low, interest rates are low, money is readily available, consumers continue to spend, and even the unemployment rate is within historical norms. Home ownership levels are at an all-time high. Since one would assume rich people always own a home, this ownership growth comes at the entry-level end of the market. In addition, the stock market--a prime indicator of economic confidence--is up significantly.”

It’s no small wonder Mr. Ed has disappeared from the U-K scene.  He’s obviously packing up for his trip to Washington, to assume his well-deserved role on Barack Obama’s economic recovery team.
