Rarely works in the real world, and rapidly becomes unsatisfying as an
"intellectual game" for anybody with a tad more larnin'.

Uh huh. Somehow, claiming "Economics In One Lesson" trumps basic
economic principles taught in freshman macro-econ, and then claiming
that this makes you smarter, doesn't get very far up that hill.



Milton Friedman is the LAST economist one should cite when advocating
increased government expenditures as a means to stimulate the
economy. Well, maybe other than his son ;-)

Why, because in his dotage he has veered into fascist politics?


I was referring to "The Machinery Of Freedom", no doubt another tome
you've never heard of.


Got it on my bookshelf right next to "Das Kapital." Political
tub-thumpery disguised as economic preaching doesn't trump well-known
and long-proven economic principles, either.




Actually, Dr. Friedman has said a number of things that go strongly
against Bush/Cheney policies, but they tend to tiptoe around that.


I don't believe I've posted a single word in favor of a Bush/Cheney
budget.

Did I say you had?

You seem to be unwilling to admit facts contrary to your dogma... if you
have to throw out reality in order to fit your theory, then your theory
isn't going to work very well in reality, either.


You sound like a plantation owner patronizing an abolitionist, circa 1840.
