<p>[Re-posted from yesterday with several questions added by helpful readers]</p>
<p>From <a href="http://mercatus.org/veronique-de-rugy" target="_self">her bio</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Veronique de Rugy is a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Her primary research interests include the U.S. economy, federal budget, homeland security, taxation, tax competition, and financial privacy issues. Her <a href="http://mercatus.org/veronique-de-rugy" target="_self">popular weekly charts</a>, published by the Mercatus Center, address economic issues ranging from lessons on creating sustainable economic growth to the implications of government tax and fiscal policies. She has testified numerous times in front of Congress on the effects of fiscal stimulus, debt and deficits, and regulation on the economy. de Rugy writes regular columns for Reason magazine, the Washington Examiner, and blogs about economics at National Review Online’s The Corner and at Big Government.</p>

<p>Veronique&#39;s recent <a href="http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2012/05/what-european-spending-cuts.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+andrewsullivan%2FrApM+%28The+Daily+Dish%29" target="_self">charts</a> and <a href="http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2012/02/greece-reax-marathon-is-indeed-a-greek-word.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+andrewsullivan%2FrApM+%28The+Daily+Dish%29" target="_self">analysis</a> have been important to the Dish&#39;s coverage of the Euro crisis. You know the drill by now: enter a question into the field at the top of  the Urtak poll (ignore the &quot;YES or NO question&quot; aspect and simply enter  any open-ended question). We primed the  poll with questions you can  vote on right away &#8211; click &quot;Yes&quot; if you  are interested in seeing Veronique  answer the question or &quot;No&quot; if you don&#39;t  particularly care. We really appreciate your help with these polls.</p>
