[lbo-talk] re: neocon economists

[Chuck Grimes]

Hayek agreed with Schumpeter that it was OK if left to the elites, the
hoi poloi couldf be allowed to chose amongs them every few years. I
also don't see what any of thsi has any connectionw ith the necons,
who are basically stupid power-worshippers who glory in military might
("Acheans, your strength is in your spears, not in your minds!" --
Queen Hecuba, in Euripedes' The Trojan Women), and who have no
mathematics. jks

Well the connection is that sooner or later after the imperial war
fires dim these same elitist policy jerks are going to turn their
attention back to the economic domestic front and start bombing the
social welfare rubble.

I am sixty and the way I figure it, they will succeed in completely
destroying social security with tax cut smart bombs at just about the
exact month I qualify for a check and medicare.
