This website is still under construction
This site offers humorous hyperbole-free commentary on current political events and policy proposals from the perspective of an economist. The analyses used in commentaries are hopefully understandable to the layman but yet interesting enough to induce a smile on the face of an academic. This site also offers short fifteen minute lessons to build economic and statistics literacy with easy to read animated PowerPoint shows (Download a free PPS viewer here).
Hal W. Snarr is an assistant professor of economics at North Carolina A&T State University, and his wife Lynn of Brooklyn, NY gave birth to their first child, Joseph Wylie, on March 9, 2009. Snarr is the son of a third generation Idaho potato farmer that accidentally bumped into his current profession. At the ripe old age of 28, a few years after his honorable discharge from the US Navy, he took a course in calculus at Idaho State University. Two years later, Snarr found himself proving theorems and teaching college algebra as a graduate student in the mathematics department. While at ISU he took a course in mathematical economics where he gained a practical understanding for the eigenvalue. The following semester he transferred to Washington State University, where he earned a Ph.D. in economics in May of 2004. Snarr holds undergraduate degrees in business and mathematics, and studies the effects of welfare reform on the decisions of low-income single mothers.
