@kasilas A posse (what's the collective noun for economists?) of economics professors sound like tantrum-prone toddlers in the #SundayBusinessPost today - including quotes from two who vocally spew exactly the growth crap the President was denouncing.

According to the most recent #RedC #OpionionPoll, "Just one in three people trust Sinn Féin to solve the housing crisis", but the #SundayBusinessPost does not say what proportion "trust" the three government parties.
