——Just... wow. Are people really that stupid?——
The economic IQ in this country must be below 25....
How can anyone think this idea is even remotely viable must be brain dead....
I think they are mathematically illiterate (or innumerate, to use the proper word). The laws of economics (the real ones, not the fake ones invented by socialists e.g. Keynes) are as absolute and unchangeable as the laws of physics. But someone who is incapable of understanding mathematical relationships will never understand that.
Unfortunately, the innumerate major in subjects like sociology--where they can come up with all kinds of ideas that can never possibly work in the real world, and they don't even understand that.
