I disagree with most of what the author has stated.

We could shrink our economy to that of Russia ten years back and still be a superpower. We have the nuclear technology and knowhow that will keep us number one for many, many decades.

Economically speaking, the tax code can incentivize the market in healthy ways, unleashing our talent and energies to do more good for all. Purchasing more things made here in the US does not mean we are being made to suffer anything bad, especially if our higher quality, locally available goods are cheaper than those made elsewhere. Additionally, as things continue to prove out, our involvement in the Middle East will show fruit in time. This is evidenced by elections and other governmental progress seen in recent weeks.

We have our concerns, but the commentary provided by Newsmax is far over the top.

I look forward to having the write eat his words.

Paul Craig Roberts, once a delicious gourmet meal, is now just 'used food.'

I agree, but will Congress do what is necessary?

Roberts was an architect of supply-side economics while Carter was still in office. Both the Kemp-Roth cuts of 1978 and Reaganomics bear the imprint of Roberts' work. He was far ahead of the curve then, and now is being dismissed as a dope by people who readily defend the economic policies that he had a major role in creating.
