Thanks for the link. So you discovered David Stockman? I bought his book The Great Deformation when it came out & read it three times. He's very good at a skill that I'm not good at: namely, detail-oriented analysis. In this sense, his book is like the works of Thomas Sowell. Both offer "over-the-shoulder" lessons on how to fetch up facts & measure emotionally-gripping notions against those facts.

Anyhoo, I'd better bow out & not get in the way of the arguing.
