I Won a 2001 Budget Battle! (Not!)
August 19th, 2008 . by economistmom
Hey, Stan! Look at what I found while I was “excavating” my bedroom last week. I’d always treasured this t-shirt for the delicious irony of its message…Given that I had spent 2000-01 at the Council of Economic Advisers writing about President Clinton’s legacy of fiscal responsibility and (unsuccessfully) working against the idea of the Bush tax cuts, how ironic that during that period I would win one of Stan’s weekly “Budget Battles” trivia contests to receive this shirt claiming a 2001 budget victory. It’s one of my favorite mementos…I’ll keep it stored next to my high school varsity cheerleading sweater from now on.
