wordywalt comments on Apr 27, 2020:

You are correct. All religions and many political ideologies are "total system ideologies." That is they all purport to include and explain everything. They are all built on myths and many false assumptions. They may all include some correct assertions and observations, but too many are deeply flawed. It is not worth one's time going through the entire ideology to sort the wheat from the huge volumes of chaff.

wordywalt comments on Apr 21, 2020:

As Nobel Prize Economist Paul Krugman says, "The job creators are a growing middle class with money to spend." As well, economists in the 1970s found that the increase in economic productivity found that up to 40 percent of the post WW II boom could not be accounted for by the usual economic measures. They finally concluded that the gain was primarily the product of the GI Bill,. That it the GI Bill resulted in a huge increase in human capital -- the knowledge and skills of the labor force which is need both to produce new technologies, and to successfully implement those technologies. It is human capital which is the driving force in increased productivity and increased income. Productive education means increased productivity, ergo more income and wealth. Republicans just can't get that uidea through their thick heads.

In this world, our choices must always be between the lesser of two evils, or the better of two goods. .
