My column today looks at what Senator Evan Bayh says about his budget priorities and how he actually votes. There's also a bonus appearance by long-dead economist Paul Samuelson. If that's not a draw, what is? Update! Turns out Paul Samuelson is not dead. He's just very old. He was born in 1915, he published major works in 1938, and he's still out there, revealing people's preferences daily. Indeed, he's still giving interviews and commenting on the economic crisis. He's probably also fielding the occasional call from his nephew, one Larry Summers.
