Yes. That is a supply and demand graph pumpkin.
Also, from Keith Hennessey:
My former White House colleague Tevi Troy suggested the following method for turning children into lifelong tax cutters.

This weekend, I put my fridge out on the street with a &#8220;Free&#8221; sign. No one wanted anything to do with it. Then on a whim I replaced the &#8220;Free&#8221; sign with a &#8220;$50&#8243; sign. Next [...]]]></description>

But they&#8217;re not fun. Lately I&#8217;ve been losing track of the fun side of economics. I&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>

Press secretary Robert Gibbs awoke President Obama with a phone call just before 6 a.m. to tell him he had won the Nobel Peace Prize.

What essential elements should be contained in the federal health care reform bill?
