Worth checking out: <http://www.mclemee.com/id4.html> 29 June An addendum to yesterday's sprawling entry on the Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers and affiliated matters.

22179 [lbo-talk] monetary policy makes strange bedfellows too -- rank: 1000
Washington Times - June 29, 2004 Rate hike reservations By James Galbraith/Jude Wanniski One of us is the First Supply Sider. The other is the Last Keynesian. One is Republican; the other Democrat. One helped invent Reaganomics; the other spent four years trying to stop it. Yet we agree on one thing. Alan Greenspan should not raise interest rates now or in the near future.
