The problem with the caveat on 3 is that I am referring to the effect on the economy overall. More people are harmed by the effect on savings, which also screws up the banking system and investments...Regulation always raises prices to consumers. The question is whether or not it is worth the extra costs. Caveat noted, but not relevant to the narrow question<g>...Unionization in this country has never exceeded 25%, and is about 16 or 17% nowadays. Unions may have been part of the mix, but clearly they were not the sole factor in promoting workplace safety or medical care. However, caveat noted..."Universal college attendance" is simply wrong. There is little reason to believe that most people would profit from a college education, and there are more efficient ways of improving skills relevant to the market, many of them sponsored by labor- hungry employers. The answer with the widest applicability is "tight labor markets", which increase wages and benefits, and make employers more willing to engage in training to meet their needs...The Feds may have a role to play, but it is largely through the collection of statistics and other information, and perhaps providing seed money for basic research..."Extremism leads to abuse": okay....Overall, you got an A, even with the cheeky comments<VBG>.... |
