Iraq versus Economics
I often watch the daily show or the Colbert Report, from the point of pure entertainment.
Indeed republicans have showed their unseemly side many too often these days. Pages and what not. Bush himself has created a disaster. The country he set out to free, is now burning. Literally. Hundreds of people dying to suicide bomb attacks, a civil war let loose, that will soon take the nation to its grave..politically it's a mess.
Is that reason enough to elect them out?
I don't know. I am a student of economics. To me good economics is what is most crucial for any country. I see the republicans and the democrats and I see Free market vs inefficiency. Now that the democrats have control, bills promoting offshoring are getting attacked. I feel it must be a duty of any person with the power to affect economic policy to understand first what does market efficiency mean.
Can it achieve the same objective you are trying to achieve more efficiently given a liitle time, than what you foolishly pursue in the short run and get no results.
Why did Clinton's era bear well, because Clinton believed in the power of the market in his heart and did all in his power to promote free trade agreements.
But Sometimes I cave when I watch religious issues taken up so strongly by so many americans..things like abortion. How dare somebody tell me what I can do or not do with my life or Tenessee has passed a law that the value of pi is 3 instead of 3.14159....becoz it's too difficult( this has nothing to do with my argument directly, but indirectly,it stands in the spirit of obstructing the progress of science)..or stem cell research..or people refusing to cell birth control pills. Indeed these issues weigh on my mind. It's sad how there's always a trade off.
Why must it be that liberal personal views and free market views cannot go hand in hand...In other words why can't there be more people like me. this world be a much better place!:)
