8. Thank you for the compliment.
It's not DU that doesn't get it; it's the DUers who insist that saving the banks and Wall Street was/is essential to saving the economy, but saving industries like the auto makers isn't. These are generally the same people who insist the stimulus is reviving the economy because it's saving teachers' jobs.

Obviously, my essay doesn't cover all aspects of a more complex 21st Century economy, with the complications of patents and copyrights, regulations (or not) and enforcement, wars and taxes and so on. But if people persist in believing the stock market is "the economy," we've got some serious problems.
