You are mistaken. The death-spiral begins on economic threads begins whenever someone posts nonsense like “the private sector has hijacked the economy,” to the silence of those that post material from EPI essentially supporting the same conclusion.
Well, for the record, it was the gentleman who started the thread that provided us with the EPI source. I just exploited its contents for humor :)
“the private sector has hijacked the economy”
I saw that and didn’t comment. I knew it was a mud-hole. You know me well enough to know I care most about the policies, rather than pointing fingers so much at the companies. They simply work within whatever legislative boundaries we allow them. Assuming “we” to be “the people” via our elected officials.
I do NOT consider GWB’s signature on NAFTA treaty documents to override our Constitution.
