Lightbulb jokes are always in...

Q: How many economists does it take to change a light bulb?
A1: Seven, plus/minus ten.

A3: None. If the government would just leave it alone, it would screw itself in.
A4. None. There is no need to change the light bulb. All the conditions for illumination are in place.

A6. None; they're all waiting for the unseen hand of the market to correct the lighting disequilibrium.
