The main cause for a successive and an unjustifiable 'differentiation' between Public finance and Private finance has been the ridiculous acts of doing away with 'economic ethics' ... in the name of Ism-s of sorts like capitalism, communism. feminism. and worst of all secularism - which has no etymological validity even !! Economics has slid down from the sublime to the ridiculous as it were.... -- vedapushpa, Bangalore - India 1
Economics is politics in disguise. A fool and his money are soon parted. When the People no longer demand that their representatives obey the rules of their offices, it is only a matter of time before the servant government assumes the role of masters of us all. Our entire economic system is now a system of fraud -- there is no money, only promises of money and an unpayable debt the price of which is 90% of one's labors and property over a lifetime -- actually they take it all and you still owe more. The Federal Reserve is the biggest fraud of them all. -- E Archer, NYC 1
-- Seb, Jersey City
Succinct and Accurate -- J Carlton, Calgary
WOW !! Really ?!?! Someone give this man a cookie and a gold star....STAT !! I suppose I'll give him 4 stars....it's concise, short, entertaining ( inspired me to comment with sarcasm ) so while a little imperfect, it still winds up coming out with all the right stuff. -- Renegade, Lansing, MI 2
