I do believe in voodoo economics too...
quote from geezer memory." The measure of the success of any economic theory is the number of economists it will make affluent"
They don't call it the dismal science for nothing.
Here is a quaint artilce from the Wall Street Journal in 2006
Nothing wrong with our consumer driven economy. We just need to keep the faith and keep on shopping. That may be sarcasm or it may be the truth. I don't know.Jobs are flocking to low-tax states for a reason.
Now new data is out and it shows that the states that embraced supply-side tax cuts are not only financially more sound and enjoy stronger economies, but they are draining residents away from the states that opted for high taxes. The Pacific Research Institute has crunched the tax numbers in all 50 states and published the "U.S. Economic Freedom Index" ranking all states according to how friendly or unfriendly their policies were toward free enterprise and consumer choice in 2004--the most recent year that comparative data is available for each state. It's clear that the economic policies of 2004 determined where each state fell in the rankings, and shaped 2005 economic performance.

They say it is all about limited resources and scarcity. Scarcity my ass. We can produce enough food to feed twice the current population of the earth yet every four seconds a human being dies of starvation because they don't have enough money to buy food.
I am an idiot. I just realized that money is the god of this world.
I forgot how Shakespeare said it, "money is the visible god"?
What I really want to know is why I am not rich. I am so fucking smart.
