What would a tax cut do?
Depending on whether you’re a supply-side economist, a mainstream economist, or a really grumpy, tired, and freezing cold college student, your answers may vary from
- decreasing the government deficit
- increasing the government deficit
- what’s that? I can’t heeeeear you!
I’ve spent a good portion of my evening going over these miserable questionnaires from hell (aka my econ problem sets), and I’m really at the point of smashing my book into some economist’s face.
Ask me about that output gap now, be-otch!
Let’s talk about happier things.
Like me rewarding myself with falafel salads for basically dissolving in a weak puddle of tears at the gym.
I’ve been told I have a tendency to exaggerate, but hear me out.
I tried to go running on the treadmill today, but then had to stop after a measly mile and a half because it felt like my shins were being attacked with the fury of a thousand red-hot knives. Exaggerate? Who me?
And then, I went into the stretching room with foam roller in hand… and realized that even putting the slightest pressure on my poor legs made my eyes instantly well up with hot, burning tears.
And so I gave up and biked a little, and went to an abs and back class, and decided that I needed something to soothe my now very painful limp.
Everyone knows that falafel salads are the antidote to shin splints. Duh.
Especially falafel salads loaded up with roasted cauliflower and broccoli, roasted beets, garbanzo beans, carrots, cucumbers, creamy cole slaw, cilantro sauce, and fresh salsa.
Hey there, good lookin’!
My one beef with this salad, however, is that the falafel is rather sub-par. I’ve definitely had better tasting falafel, but whatever.
My shins feel loads better, and obviously, that’s all that matters.
I had to leave after dinner to go meet up with some friends, and it’s almost too convenient that I pass frozen yogurt shops on my way.
Pumpkin, cappuccino, and cookies n cream, loaded up with brownie bits, cookie dough bits, mochi, and almond slices. Because fruit is overrated.
Do you want to know what I would do if I did get a tax cut? I would probably spend every single penny on frozen yogurt.
No shame about it.
