 I'm not arguing that everything is great and nothing needs to be fixed. But economic principles and the application of economic principles are two very different things. One is empirical, based on math, and the other is tainted by politicians and their perpetual priority of advancing their own self-interests. I'm speaking about the empirical stuff. The math. You're talking about the political side which I'm in complete agreement with you on.
