| The Donald and the Veg-O-Matic | I've written on a number of occasions about the Veg-O-Matic temptation - the urge to claim that your preferred policy solves all problems - it slices! It dices! It purees! It creates jobs! It raises productivity! It takes off weight without diet or exercise! There's also the reverse version, in which a policy you dislike does everything bad - It's inflationary! It's contractionary! It causes acne!
