Ken:

I do not know what modern "economic science" means/ It will not be a science until it is able to predict outcomes which it decidedly cannot.

It is a fraud. Any two trained physists in the world can predict mechanical activity and they will both get the same answer. Any competent doctor can diagnose a problem with his field of expertise. You can't find two economists who agree on anything and who can tell me anything useful.

But this I do know the Greeks and the Romans and the Chinese and I am sure other cultures commented on the economics of their time, as well as the histories and cultures. Our foinding fathers and many well educated people of the time read these men some in the original Latin. (My wife must be one of the last people in America, who read cicero in Latin. They knew history and they knew the history of fiat money and in the recorded history of man, there is not a single fiat currency that has lasted. And you don't have to be a genius to figure that out. I bet if a democrat really thought about it they could figure it out. But we are led by ignorant uneducated people who think that if we don't get our stimulus 500,000,000 americans a month would lose their jobs. (And they say Sarah Pailin is dumb).

They cannot grasp a simple fact human activity is very complex and incapable of rationale regulation. But there are time proven principles that have served mankind well over the years. Before you start trying to micro manage the economy you might see if we can elect a government that can balance a check book.

I sometimes wonder why I respond to you, becuase I know that you wiill review your party talking points and give me some inane answer, but maybe hope does spring eternal.
