Arthur Laffer Admits He Was Drinking When He Created the Laffer Curve



Imagine my surprise.

In questioning the authenticity of a second Laffer Curve napkin now at the Smithsonian (The curve was drawn on a napkin), The New York Times reports:

Mr. Laffer has always said he does not have a clear recollection of the original meeting...
For my take on the Trump Administration using the Laffer Curve to justify deficit spending, see:
