In case you haven't figure it out, I'm not here to debate my views or yours. Think on it. It might come to you.
You continue to advocate policy ideas, proposals for Federal government programs-union "check card" voting, (which should do for business what subprime lenders did for banking); Federal government-provided health care, changes in regulation regime, tax increases-and you WILL NOT provide a basis for asking for these changes??? IF you advocate them, you must have a basis for why they are necessary, how they would fit into our constitutional government and how these proposals would actually help Americans.

Until you can provide answers for why those questions, why should anyone be persuaded to your and your candidate's ideas? Part of the give and take here is education, not merely throwing mud at each other. Mods: I'm trying to raise the level of debate at Jet Blast-a Nobel would be appreciated greatly.

Speaking of Nobels-congrats to Krugman. I offer that in the same spirit that I offered congrats to Gore. I cannot explain the committee's decisions any better than quantum mechanics. I have read most of his books and none of his works is on the level of Friedman, Buchanan, Mundell or Becker. I can only assume, like Gore, the Nobel committee gave him the prize for his outspoken anti-Bush screeds and for proposals that are in concert with the committee's socialist ideas. Friedman revolutionized economics, monetary theory and the very concept of freedom; Mundell inspired the Euro; Buchanan investigated political economy and how incentives change politics. What did Krugman do on globalization? But, my best to him.

PS It should be "figured", not figure. You must learn about the past tense; didn't they teach English in GA? Oh, I forgot, the worst education in the US, which is why so many are moving there.
