Isn't the intent of this forum and these threads to discuss political opinion? When a subject is introduced and examined by an author who is political in nature and who does it for political sport, aren't we obliged to discuss its political intent as well?
Although I have stuck to the subject matter in my replies I nevertheless realize that economics is difficult to understand for many on these threads, and the comments, political and otherwise, do not disprove that fact.
I think it is more respectful to readers to stick to the topic of the post and not hijack for other agendas. Other topics can be introduced at will for separate discussion.
