President Trump today appointed Sen. Reed Smoot and Rep. Willis Hawley as joint chairs of the National Economic Council. The announcement came as a surprise to economists all across the spectrum, from Phil Gramm to Paul Krugman. "I thought those two were as dead as their ideas," said Gramm. Krugman just sighed, buried his face in his hands, and quietly groaned.
Ludwig von Mises sprang from his grave, lurched towards the White House, spotted Elon Musk on the way and gave him the finger, saying "I got your gesture right here!" He burst into the Oval Office, slapped the President, then shambled back to his resting place, shouting "Don't make me come back again!" as he clawed his way back into the ground.
