    It's hard to debate with you sometimes because you have an answer for everything and you feel that your answer is the correct answer. I fear that any further discussion might turn into an argument and less of a debate. I don't agree with you on many of your viewpoints contained in this ongoing discussion but respect them none the less. Cheers.

    It's pretty hard not to come across as knowing something about a subject when you know something about a subject. In spite of pursuing an interest in economics for some time, I am an absolute tyro compared to some folks (John Carson, Zeb69 - both professional economists) who used to frequent the original soapbox and I learned a great deal by debating with them, even though they often cited facts I wasn't aware of, or offered opinions that were wildly at variance from mine. Indeed, I find that kinds of a discussion the most enjoyable because I end up being wiser than when I started.

      I hear you. And besides, the word fascism has so many unfortunate connotations.

        Sorry, I have been spending too much time thinking about the U.S. Budget. :-O ;)

          and follow suit with Iceland. Not everything needs to be changed but it does need an enema.
