   Danae hit it right on the head that time.

   Well, you know, cartoonists see if they can make a given story last for all 6 daily strips in a week…

   Drinking partner is Joe’s brother, who happens to look like Nixon.

   I believe a post from wiley a while back said that Joe’s brother was actually based on the actor Dabney Coleman, not Nixon.

   Let’s hope Daddy doesn’t do that on his taxes.

   Sounds more like Keynesian economics to me.

   Danae has a talent for being able to make even the most ridiculous theory sound plausible.

   If I remember correctly, Supplyside Economics was a Reagan theory.

   You’d think my bank and creditors would have some basic understanding of the Magic Math Method. They don’t.

    @grazer, maybe it’s not so much that your bank and creditors don’t know about this method, but that they want a different balance than you. :-)

    Yep! Danae has a cabinet post with her name on the door just waiting.

    I tried that with my checkbook but I still end up with a -0.00

    @h2oman, have you heard about the guy who got a bill from someone saying he owed $0.00, and had to pay up? After trying to fix it for several months, as the story goes, they sent his account to a collection agency, and even put a claim on his bank accounts, freezing them. He finally gave in, quit trying to reach someone who could resolve the issue, and wrote a check for $0.00.

    This solved the problem bill, but the next day, his bank had a melt-down. It seems they tried to process a check written for $0.00… .

    I used to be in banking. You wouldn’t believe the number of customers I had who operated their checkbooks based on that theory!

    @ Drystyha: Well it must have seemed like a pretty good idea, because the banks seem to be trying it now – and with taxpayer money to boot!

    “Worked” for awhile, until someone actually did the math! Now the world is broken. Not too worry–the money resides in gated communities.

    Reynard61, which is pretty frightening! You should have seen some of my cutomers!

    GordonBarrett, Yes, I hear gated communities in Costa Rica go REAL cheap! Know a guy & his wife who are going to move there for part of the year! Thye don’t even need glass on their windows, so he says, because there are no bugs and the weather is beautiful year ‘round!

    To grossly oversimplify a complex issue, ALL real economics is supply-side in the sense that without supply there IS no economics.

    So what is non-real economics? Any theory that denies two hundred years of progress and prosperity and thinks that the government does a better job of running an economy than the combined free decisions of hundreds of millions of free, productive people.

    As someone who struggled with any math beyond beginning algebra, this series with Danae’s Math Method has made me laugh out loud.
