- J. Daniel Wright
- I'm a budget analyst in Washington, D.C. This blog has a number of purposes: I use this blog to have a historical, electronic record of my financial/economic readings. Another purpose is to write about current economic, financial, investment, and market data while developing my writing style and voice. Finally, I try to spice it up by throwing in humorous cartoons, pictures, and haikus. I hope you enjoy.
