March's Econ 101 Report: El Gordo!
The president's budget came out last month, and after reading through the hundreds of pages of text and tables, I came to the conclusion that this budget was a lot like the "El Gordo" platter at my favorite Mexican restaurant—it contains something for everybody, it's loaded with pork but it's bad for your health, and it totes a hefty price tag.

December's Econ 101 Report: Some Good, Bad, And Ugly
As 2009 draws to a close, the economy is finally growing again. After almost two years of recession and four consecutive quarterly declines in GDP, GDP rebounded in the third quarter, rising at a 3.5% annual rate. Improvement was noted in all major sectors of the economy and reflects a number of factors, not the least of which was a bottoming in the housing market and policy initiatives in both monetary and fiscal policy. Marked improvement in capital markets has eased volatility and has seen elevated risk spreads drop back to prerecession levels, although lending volume still has a long way to go. Unofficially, though, it appears that the recession is finally behind us. (12/7/2009)
