- I know that economics isn't exactly an easy read for most people, but I'll try to make the premise of this post really simple. The "economic rebound" the U.S. is experiencing isn't sustainable, and the end result is likely to be some serious pain.The economy is being kept afloat by deficit spending and the devaluation of the US dollar, which will buy us a little time to continue acting like happy little consumers, but that's not sustainable, because both exports and foriegn investment in the U. |

- and from the preceding This excerpt from the introduction to the libertarian Cato Institute's Handbook for Congress in the 1990s is typical: The "bourgeois virtues" of work, thrift, sobriety, prudence, fidelity, self-reliance, and a concern for one's reputation developed and endured in part because they are the virtues necessary for survival and progress in a world where wealth must be produced and people are responsible for their own flourishing. Government can't do much to instill these virtues in people, but it can do much to undermine them. Comment: the rational would work except that the "bourgeoisie" which now means salaried employees, are working harder for less inn a squeeze between technology and third world competition. |

- from the previous article on health care Out-of-pocket costs are expected to rise from $644 a year in 2000 to $1,454 in 2006. Even with $400 billion, the new legislation will reimburse only about one third of the beneficiaries' total out-of-pocket drug costs,[1] and the program will not even begin until 2006. The current bill will also make it possible to impose a limit on future increases in Medicare expenditures and create tax-free savings plans for individuals to pay for private services. If we think of each person having a budget, in part from personal funds and in part from the government, then we see that the percentage that could go for drugs could rise. There is no principled basis for limiting the increase of that percentage, which means other costs must go down (talking in percentages). |
