What?!
Things are not well in the Dominion of Queen Mauds Land!
My people have excellent civil and political rights... they can read and say what they want, and get to vote for what they want the budget spent on, but the economy is failing! I've gone from "Strong" to "Weak" in about four days!
What is their malfunction? You'd think that opening the nation to uranium mining would have pumped some money into the economy, but noooo.. Now I'm being forced to erect tariffs against cheap foreign cars to save my auto industry.
If you blighters don't start spending some Pebbles soon, I'm letting big business back in! I swear!

(Laffer's on my mind because he just joined the board of directors at my company. Everyone seemed to think they had to explain to me who he was. For some reason nobody imagines that a mere dumb software engineer might possibly have been an Econ minor, 1980-85, just as Mr. Laffer's theories were in the spotlight for all us policy wonks. I love people who think all engineers are one-dimensional code machines. Grrr.)
