>I realize that's the Kerry line. And there certainly are a few. But "plenty"? I don't suppose you have a supporting link (preferrably a nonpartisan one) for this remark?

No, it's anecdotal. But, anecdotal from LOTS of people that I know, that I hear from...

>That's YOUR problem. A person who really needed the money certainly WOULD remember, however.

How far does $1000 bucks go today?

>What policy? There IS no policy, except to arbitrarily have government increase wages for unskilled laborers. That's no policy. Hell, if you are an "economics student" then surely you know that such mandated controls actually cause those earners to LOSE ground economically. This is pretty fundamental stuff.

Keep in mind that there's more than one school of economic thought, and none has been "proven" 100% completely true. There's Keynesian thought, new classical thought, monetarist thought... they teach all of them in school, not just one.

Why? Because it's not as cut-and-dry as some would like us to think.
