No I don't. I do however think that sometimes we get a little myopic on this site

LOL even know it all "professors" can get on that bandwagaon of hijacking a thread of everything goes to immigration. It has turned into FR's version of the Kevin bacon game.

Dow was at almost a 6 year and all time high, did the speculators in oil sink the market again today.

OH BTW, LS. Smoot-Hawley, was an anti-free trade bill. It choked economic growth, like the neo-Smoot-Hawleys such as tancredo also wish to do all in the name of labor "purity".

Hmm, if you had the smarts you think you have, you could read my OWN book on Hawley Smoot ("The Entrepreneurial Adventure") and see that I criticize it sharply, siding with Wanniski's interpretation. But even know it all posters can make incredibly stupid claims without bothering to do basic research.

Now, people have made good arguments why the DOW isn't at all connected to these votes . . . all but the one that would be crucial, which is to track DOW performance with the progress of this bill through the Senate. No one bothered to take that approach to the crash and HS until the 1970s when Wanniski finally did it.
