Ping to the Economic Conservatism list. Please let me know if you want to added or removed.

Today’s posting is lighter, soon to be followed by more weighty material. Ricardo, anyone?

I always thought the quote “identifying the problem is tgree fourths the cure” was true.

Except with emotions and politics.

The cure is like trying to get your youth back.

PJ O’Rourke for President—Now More Than Ever!
(Well, I can dream, can’t I? At least the satire would be intelligent, concise, aimed in the right direction, and intentional.)

In reference to an Irish high rise built to house the poor that was being torn down after just a few years because it had been trashed by the residents:

“It proved that you can’t stack poor people who drink.”

His quote of Alan Greenspan was classic, too. On being told by a Swedish economic minister that socialist Sweden had a very low poverty rate, Greenspan replied that the poverty rate in the US, among Swedes, was also very low.
