Really? I wonder. You might easily surmise that since I never finished my major in economics, I am not one. Maybe he is, but his "Any economist will tell you that sometimes free markets simply cannot even get off the ground without government intervention" has no bearing on the fact that a Free Market by definition cannot contain elements of socialism and still have its existence called a free market, or a result of a free market. It's preposterous. He said that by stating this basic truth, my lack of knowledge was revealed. He may mince words all day, I'll see, but he can't change the obvious well-known requisite of a free market: no government help or interference. Dan B.
