Public Enemy Headline: Brilliant State Budget. Montenegro, Pedro Nuno and Ventura win Nobel Prize in Economics

The Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences will only be awarded next Monday, but THE PUBLIC ENEMY, tarot reader Marques Mendes and 14 gossip programs about other people’s lives on Portuguese television already know that the prize is coming to Portugal and will reward “meticulous work by Luís Montenegro, Pedro Nuno Santos and André Ventura in the Portuguese State Budget, which will be the greatest monument of economic science since the invention of the grocery store must-have table”. The jury will also praise “the practical application of string theory, macro + micro dynamics, bear vs. bull and opera buffa in 4x3x3, which makes Portugal make the spectacular leap from two to five Nobel Prizes”.
