Perhaps you are right, Ed. I'll be the first to admit I am not an
expert
on
this, and you have spent a lot of time and energy examining the
situation.

Geeze, Mark. How can you hope to match the posts of Lennie if
you keep making remarks like that? Even worse yet, what if
one day you opened up a post from him, and found the same words
in there, but substitute 'gunner' for 'ed.'

I think they would have to scrape us both up off the floor with
a spatula.

This is I think what does amaze me, how all different kinds of
posters can co-exist on this ng - with you and your tolerance
and deference apparently at one end of the spectrum!

LOL! Sorry, I'll try to do better! Perhap Lennie can give me some
lessons.....

Seriously, I wish I understood it better. There is so much
mis-information
floating around, especially in economics. Most of it is similar to Alice
in
Wonderland as far as common sense goes. While Ed and I disagree on a
number
of subjects, I suspect we are not very far apart on this one, especially
regarding the serious consequences for our nation.

Thanks for the kind words.

Regards,

Mark

Unfortunately it is in pdf format which I do find annoying. It is one
examination of the economics being discussed in this thread.
