We don't use leaches anymore when some one is sick, why do we use outdated economic models?
I've read stuff (whole reports) from the Cato institute and the Heritage foundation that are so incomplete they wouldn't pass the mustard of a fifth grade class yet the conclusions are relegated to facts. Are we that lazy?
I saw a debate between Ron Paul and Paul Krugman on You Tube with Ron Paul. Ron Paul stated that the Byzantine Empire lasted as long as it did because it didn't debase it coins and didn't have a large fighting force. I believed this Bull Sh*t till I did a little research and presto nothing could be further from the truth. The Byzantine empire many a time change the gold and silver in it's coinage. The empire expanded and shrunk many times during it's existence and it fought a lot.
The people of my great, great grandfathers day believed in a lot of things and they were the norm of the time, but now we have to move on.
