Reminds me of Brian Fisher from ABARE's statement to the Senate committee hearing into peak oil:
"If the price of eggs is high enough, roosters will start to lay eggs"

Exactly which orifice they will squeeze them out of, no one knows...
I'm glad you brought this up and have provided the link because I've been wanting record of it.
I saw this clip when it first came out and could not believe what I was hearing.
The quotation has haunted me ever since as the simplest, most direct statement of the delusion that is killing us all.
Thank you.
Until the senate inquiry I had often wondered whether economists were hermaphrodites or eunuchs. Brian Fisher's comment confirmed that they are hermaphrodites.
