Greg Mankiw has an excellent NYT op-ed, with advice for the new President Elect. My favorite part:
"[E]ven if the laws of arithmetic are ignored during campaigns, they become a real constraint when making actual policy."
As a bonus, see if you can spot Mankiw's trademark humorous (and shameless) self-promotion.
This blog will now return to our regularly-scheduled programming of stream-of-consciousness nonsense, rants about technology, and creepy adulation of Neil Diamond.

Jonathan wins! Give the man a cigar.
I came up with the same answer, but I guess I was behind the game in posting it.
Yes!
Who do I get get the cigar from?
