Into the breach, biotches!
DoctorNo: Poland is still recovering from recovering from the Soviet domination Gerald Ford said they did not suffer under. Bad example of social-democracy in action.
Paris: Daniel was being facetious. An elaboration of the point is here.
Dood: As I pointed out at the end, either way the Gov chooses aggrieves somebody somehow. The fiction you are laboring under is that if the Gov choses nothing, that somehow individuals are granted freedom, rather than living under the yoke of all manner of private sector predators. That’s you blessed anarchy: kind of like Somalia or Waziristan. You also gloss over the points I made in my last column, that French and U.S. labor productivity are not so different. Sad to say, I do advise the government but they don’t take any of my advice. You seem to see commies everywhere. Try some prune juice. As for moving to France, I couldn’t live with myself if I abandoned all you poor slobs.
Paris: The only energy the U.S. is funneling into the rest of the world’s economies is buying their imports, while they buy more U.S. assets.
MichaelW: you’re right but see above.
Smokey: The National Income and Product Accounts. Look into ‘em.
