The level of economic ignorance in this country is truly astounding. Take government schools - if the government was capable of running a school system than it should be able to run grocery stores. Ask people if they think the government should grocery stores and they will say no. Ask them if the government should run public schools and they will say yes. Ask them to explain why the laws of economics mutate depending on the type of good or service that is being delivered and they will stare at you incomprehensibly.
The same thing applies to health care.
Brilliant!
I would be one of those people staring at you.
Why do the laws of economics mutate (and I have absolutely no idea what that means) depending on the type of good or service that is being delivered? Is it the type of goods or services causing this mutation, or is it having the government running it that's the problem?
Anyway, do you have a book, article, website (anything!) that you could recommend I read as a starting point? I am woefully ignorant when it comes to anything other than my own personal finances.
