little understanding of basic economics
I think you also fail on that count. Basic economics being that which is taught in Econ 101. |

It doesn't fit well on a bumper sticker, but I'm kinda fond of "Osama Bin Laden is Dead and GM is Still Alive. Deal With It!"
It’s the whole AA and Chesapeake on the ropes deal I’m concerned about. |

*sigh* the the real answer to the government budget problem is a flat percentage tax for everyone, enough industrial regulation to keep industry from screwing people over just to get ahead, making it illegal for politicians to take bribes (like the ones they call campaign contributions), and mandatory community service for everyone (as long as they are not in a vegetable state they can perform some kind of service, and there might even be some use for those in vegetable states). |

Yes, economics professors don't believe in a market economy or capitalism.  |

Then scroll the logos of all of the pay-for-play campaign donor companies that cost tax payers billions and then billions more in bankruptcy:
Solyndra
SunPower
First Solar
Ener1
Evergreen Solar
SpectraWatt
Beacon Power
Abound Solar
Amonix
Babcock & Brown
A123 Systems
Solar Trust for America
Nevada Geothermal
Every time you think of one of those companies - a billion here, a billion there... Think Halliburton. No bid. $75 billion. Think bank bailouts. $1.2 trillion. It's called perspective. A refreshing breath of fresh air and sanity from the Murdochian catacombs and caves. |

Perspective yes, but do you really see any change since the new admin has taken over. More of the same if you ask me. The fact that Lehman and Bear were allowed to fail is mind boggling when you consider who we have bailed out over the same time period. I have little hope for this ever changing. |

Gaspar's list is rather inaccurate, by the way.
