Without mathmetics behind it is not science merely voodo mnd your bvelief structure while fine for you has no validity as public policy

What's the math behind supporting Liberty? Fuzzy no doubt! ;) Is its validity as public policy the same as voodo? Call if Voodoo economics if you want, hell I take it as a compliment...

Economics is the study of the distribution of scarce goods and resources by a society. It is not a study of your desires and what you want and how much you want it at a given time

How does one know what goods to produce, or how to distribute them, if they ignore what people want, and when they want it? Like I said, GOSPLAN's slide rule didn't work.

I have to compliment you on your well reasoned, intelligent posts defending the pricniples of free trade, not that I agree, but I respect the Libertarian viewpoint for being consistent.

The voodoo I accept it is any justification for the economics part of the appellation I find difficult to accept.

The aggregate law of supply a demnad works for this in a Free market in a command ec0onomy the decision of whovere is in charge determines thsi I am for removal of command elements from the American economy whereever they are sourced.
