I guess the problem that I have is that you are a rational man.
I just don't see that in the political mess.


I'm going mostly on history, Richard. And the numbers.

There are all kinds of surprising facts in the numbers. For example, the
percentage of employed adults now is higher than it was in the '50s.
Manufacturing output in the US, except for the recessionary downturn, has
been on a steady climb for decades.

These things don't mean that everything is really Ok. They do mean that our
problems are structural.
