Fair enough. Yes, it's just as slippery a slope. But.....I don't appreciate the backanded insult. My opinions are rooted in more than poitics. You're not the last bastion of academia, and economic science is populated by many a varying opinion. I stand by my opinions based not solely on a visceraly political reaction, but also on an understanding, as elementary as it may be, of basic economics. Lastly, I certainly don't see eye to eye with you on this, but I do appreciate you clarifying your position.
