Stephen,
I agree with your comment about economists dropping the "celebrity economist" moniker and commend you for it. People are not dumb and they are now seeing the link between people who are promoting themselves and making money from this countrys misery at present and providing sensible advice that is workable to get the country out of this mess. There are well known personnel who will turn up on Vinny Browne, Prime Time, Newstalk, RTE radio etc etc at the drop of a hat to consistently offer negative vibes on Ireland. I am a person running my own business, employing people, and I have a strong academic background up to 4th level, and, we as a group (people in business) are really fed up with this two faced approach to making money from this country's misery.
Keep up your good work and keep it balanced and fair !!!
Cheers Ray, will do.
