A Frenchman named Bastiat wrote the book "Economic Sophisms" where he advised a way to create more small town jobs in France. Bastiat's idea was to vary the distance from track to track so that wide rail train contents would have to be transferred to less-wide rail trains, and vice-versa, in a town to town pattern.
Speaking of “Economic Sophisms,” The stupidity inherent in “Obama Care” is a good example of sophistry.
