But economic predictions require predicting what politicians are going to do-- and nothing is more unpredictable.

Great point.

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.

The mainstream media never expressed half the outrage about Mao Zedong as they did about Ronald Reagan. Yet, when it came to killing millions of innocent civilians, even Hitler was an amateur compared to Mao.

Mao is a hero to the 0bama administration.

“People who thoughtlessly give money to panhandlers on the street seem not to realize that this is making installment payments on the degeneration of America. “

Having the police exterminate every last panhandler would be a more constructive venture than the Hippie plan, which gives them guns and drugs. Pansy liberals don’t seem to realize that if you want to actually help a panhandler out of poverty, you have to set the terms of what he receives.

It’s a disgrace that idealists are even allowed to vote, if you ask me. Citizens should be tested on economic proficiency before they can vote. If we made that one simple rule, the only politicians who would exist would be principled conservatives.

Dr. Sowell has the talent of condensing into a few words in a way the reader will understand that which most of us can't write clearly in multiple paragraphs.

However, there are times when his fast brain may race too far ahead of his nimble fingers. And this is one of them.

"Barack Obama has already beaten that record with $4.4 trillion in just his first three years in office."

By my count, 0bama has been in office only two years, two months and going on two days.

Too long, in any event. But it would be nice to think he does have only another year remaining as President.

The vile people who picket the funerals of American soldiers killed in action are far away enough from the mourners not to be heard. It is media attention that magnifies their sick message.

I would take it as a testament to the efforts of the fallen hero that even the biggest crackpots have the freedom of speech in this country.

And it is so nice of the crackpots to come and testify at the funeral of one of the hero's that earned that freedom for them.

Thomas Sowell’s “random thoughts” are amazingly coherent.

Politicians unpredictable?
I beg to differ.
They can always be counted on to do the wrong thing!

...[Obama's] first three years in office

Dr. Sowell, try two years and two months! But you knew that.

Hitler was an amateur compared to Mao - yet the MSM NEVER condemns Mao...
