Of course, I forgot, that I am an economist, and since economics isn't a science I won't be convinced by data. Of course, I should also point out that you have a long history of playing fast-and-loose with economic data on this List, doing things like ascribing economic data from Carter's Presidency to Ronald Reagan.
I'm biased, but I would guess that even an unbiased person would be convinced by Dan's data before they were convinced by your rhetoric.
I'll also state for the record that, while we all make mistakes, Dan's data is usually pretty solid, and I can remember a few instances when he was mistaken and owned up to it. I don't think "fast-and-loose" describes his use of facts at all.
