Great minds think alike . . .
May 12, 2011
. . . and lesser minds sometimes follow.
Alex Tabarrok noted this week that he posted on 11/13/08 that the federal government should sell some assets. I posted a similar thought on 11/10/08 (and again on 9/28/09).
Alex notes further that the Obama Administration is apparently beginning to implement the idea.
Speaking of which, here's "Map of the Day: 12,000 Empty Buildings That Are Owned And Maintained By The Government".
Note: I'm not claiming--and I'd guess Alex wouldn't claim--any sort of originality for the idea. I'm just noting how some economists were two years ahead of the current administration.
