Hey, this is sort of fun. Maybe I'll manage to keep it up this time. I have a couple of things that have been rattling around in my brain for months that I'd like to put into words if I can find the time to do it. The first is on GDP and how it should be reported (but isn't), and the other is on Social Security (you are either paying a tax or saving for your retirement, you cannot be doing both at the same time).
