LOL...."They" say; Crap, "happens" for a "purpose" So what is the "real" cost........exactly, what is being given in return?<g> reuters.com blogs.reuters.com LOL......where is the chapter " confounded by law" econlib.org "The whole value produced is the gross produce; this value, after deducting from it the cost of production, is the net produce." Vol II. p. 491. There can then be no net produce, because the cost of production, according to M. Say, consists of rent, wages, and profits. In page 508, he says, "The value of a product, the value of a productive service, the value of the cost of production, are all then similar values, whenever things are left to their natural course." Take a whole from a whole, and nothing remains. 100 years.......and we're still not getting a bang for our buck? The buck does stop here? ......the passing of the buck is all that remains of a healthcare system that you can't afford?<g> .....where's Our dividends? LOL......and the beat goes on: "I know that all of us share a deep, abiding belief in this country, a belief in our people, a belief in the principles that have made America's economy the envy of the world." His administration will "help lay the foundation for you to grow and innovate," Obama said, vowing new investment in infrastructure and education and a focus on removing "barriers that make it harder for you to compete - from the tax code to the regulatory system."
