they're morons who've never been really poor. The kind who thought they were 'poor' back in college because they had to eat ramen once in a while.



on edit: tuned in. The Brookings Institute, who'da thunk? :sarcasm:

Initially centrist, the Institution took its first step rightwards during the depression, in response to the New Deal. In the 1960s, it was linked to the conservative wing of the Democratic party, backing Keynsian economics. From the mid-70s it cemented a close relationship with the Republican party. Since the 1990s it has taken steps further towards the right in parallel with the increasing influence of right-wing think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation.


Wasn't Keynes the author of the economic theory behind the Bretton Woods Agreement? that was a good thing, when Nixon got rid of it, wage disparity started climbing again, and capitol gains overtook trade flows. :shrug:
