Remember the late Carl Sagan, the theoretical astronomer? Sagan was probably the only astronomer to be regular quest to the Tonight Show. For all I know, Sagan was very good theoretical astronomer. Not my cup of tea. However Sagan never limited his opinions to just theoretical autonomy. Sagan has opinions on everything. The problem was that Sagan was an expert in one area, astronomy, he wanted you to believe the was an expert on everything.
In response to Sagan rather finite body of knowledge but rather infinite set of pronouncements, I developed the Sagan Principal. It holds that a person’s expertise diminishes the farther they are from their expertise. Sagan wondered pretty far.
Speaking of lost wanderers, David Freddoso, National Review [1], links to this quote from the one, b/k/a Barack Obama:
[T]he most critical part of our strategy is to ensure that we do not return to an economic cycle of bubble and bust in this country…The budget I submitted to Congress will build our economic recovery on a stronger foundation so that we don’t face another crisis like this 10 or 20 years from now.
The last time I checked Obama has a hack lawyer, who has never released his college or law school transcripts and never published anything, he himself, has written. Obama has trouble understanding laws or executive orders he has signed. Translation, if Obama is really a lawyer, he not a very good one.
So this hack lawyer makes this radical economic pronouncement that somehow economic recovery is magically linked to enacting his bloated three trillion dollar budget. Since when? Obama has no economic credentials.. He cites no economic experts who can collaborate his theory. In short Obama gives us no reason to believe that his private theory is true.
