A Day in the Life of a Supply Side Economist

Samuel K. finds the funny side of supply side:

3:05 p.m.

Meets a blind date
at a coffee shop

FRANCINE: Hi, you must be Arthur. I'm Francine.

SUPPLY-SIDE ECONOMIST: TAX CUTS.

FRANCINE: I'm sorry?

SUPPLY-SIDE ECONOMIST: TAX CUTS.

FRANCINE: (Nervous.) It's—it's nice to meet you.

SUPPLY-SIDE ECONOMIST: TAX CUTS.

(Silence.)

FRANCINE: I have to go now.

SUPPLY-SIDE ECONOMIST: TAX CUTS.
