God save us from "progressive" economists, and the conservatives on this website who cite to them.

Good catch. At least the noob has an excuse. The old Freepers who do the same have no excuse. Of course the noob could be a retread.

I'll pass-on a question I've been pondering. Do they cite (indirectly, in the case here) to E.P.I. because there is such a paucity of material provided by their own intellectual comrades? I mean, it's pretty clear that here we are dealing with then Buchanan/Schlafly (let's leave Perot out of this for now) segment of the movement. Where is its analytical guiding-light? Is it Tonelson? But even Tonelson simply repeats what he reads elsewhere.

Is that why some on that side feel they must attack such giants as (Milton) Friedman, and re-write the Reagan legacy? Because they have nothing to offer otherwise?
