<<<<<But the liberals have boat loads of intellectuals, hard core intellectuals like Noam Chomsky and Paul Krugman, that can defend their philosophy with ease, because it is a philosophy that takes into account the healthy survival of society, the species, and the planet. >>>>>

You see these boatloads of "intellectuals" because you agree with them. .....How in the world does Krugman defend his philosophy? It never gets tried! The economy is not like a chemistry experiment where you can propose and then test. Economics is a blend of philosophies. It would be great to test Krugmans ideas, but I would make a big wager you would be more than a little disappointed. Dr. Paul would like to try his ideas too, so would Ryan, but the very best any of these ideas get is a chance to nibble at the edges of the economy. Why is that? Because in our world, politics is a part of the game. And politics dictates the end game.
