a economist worth his/her salt would know that wages are falling for
engineers and scientists in the u.s.a. if there was a shortage, wages
would be going sky high. shrinking wages means a glut, not a shortage.

it means we ex****t scrap metal and paper, and call that a ex****t
boom. we will do sell anything for a dollar, but we will not upset the
feverish cult called free trade.
As Warren Buffett has said, we are giving ourselves a party to feed
our appetite for oil and im****ted goods and paying for it by selling
off the furniture, our most precious assets.
There is a great deal of psychological comfort to be found in a
fully
fledged ideology such as laissez faire because it removes the need
for
critical thought. The ideology is used as an algorithm. All the
individual has to do in any situation is to ask what the ideology
requires by way of action. The fact that the action may be harmful or
the ideology objectively at odds with reality is emotionally
unim****tant for the individual. What matters is that an answer has
been
found which is compatible with the ideology. This is especially
appealing to the less intellectually curious.
Psychologically, political ideologies are akin to religion and their
practitioners behave in an essentially religious manner. For example,
in the case of laissez faire, its disciples chant "let the market
decide" in the manner of Christians saying "God will provide."
Those amongst the elite who are not true believers in laissez faire
will, in most cases, toe the ideological line because they deem it
prudent to do so for their own careers and security. The few who
speak
out against it are simply sidelined.

our state and nation have experienced major declines resulting from
contem****ary conservative leaders and their simplistic ideas. their
dour polices regularly fail to connect the dots, let alone comprehend
the space between them.
