What does Sowell say about “trade imbalances” and why do so many Freepers who praise him as the “smartest man in the universe” not have any idea what he says on that subject?

Bump~!
Two men who should have a place in President Cruz’s

Amen to that.

Politicians and voters alike will never take it seriously.

Every one wants things for “free” even when they aren’t and no politician is going to win an election promising “austerity.”

Economics has nothing to do with politics.

The path to understanding outcomes is to examine consequences of decisions in terms of incentives they create rather than goals they pursue.

If you know a diehard liberal, read this book to him as soon as possible.

Like I said doesn’t matter.

People like Santa Claus more than they like Grinch.

That’s the reality of human nature.

[GeronL]

Like the trade imbalance I have with Sac N Pac, they never buy anything from me!

That’s it. The appeal of Marxism is as old as humankind most basic desire of “something for nothing.”

[Barkeep99]

Just because you didn’t pay for it doesn’t mean it was “FREE”.

[A CA Guy]

I used to think fellow citizens would see the damage of liberal policies and would then vote better leading to a more balanced budget mentality. I was wrong!
This country will go down.
The majority of the voters have their hands in the treasury through benefits or government employment and will refuse to remove their hands from their neighbor’s wallet all the way down till we are no more.
There is no shame and the lack of personal shame which should be a motivation to do better is why we have lost it.

Politicians know it and so do voters.

Obamacare is Exhibit #1 in how the real thing falls far short of what was advertised.

[M Kehoe]

If 0bama's intellect was measured from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest), compared to Dr. Sowell and Dr. Williams, he would measure a negative 1.

No doubt about it. Neither Dr. were on the receiving end of affirmative action nor were raised by communists, they worked for what they’ve achieved.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

It’s a Two-Fer! BUMP! :)

I don’t like your analogy. It’s not Santa Claus vs. the Grinch. It’s more like Santa Claus vs your dad (no irony intended). You dad would tell you that there are limits to what you can have, and that you have to get off your butt and work for what you want. The Grinch had nasty intentions. Your dad is doing it for your ultimate own good.
