The whole economy is psychological

Money is a psychologcal construct and so , any recession or expansion is psychological.

The regular people are the ones for whome money becomes real only when it runs out.

Nasty Health Effects

Yes, but by suffering nasty health effects, he'll probably just die sooner...and thereby no longer have to deal with his hypertension! Lucky Ducky!

I wonder is the Dr. a relative of Hollingsworth Hound or just Hollingsworth with a silly disguise on?
