      They were perfectly right.

      There are at least three other ways that the US economy has been planned and directed from the top down.

      The first is energy policy. In an industrial economy, the price of almost everything is significantly influenced by the price of energy. Cheaper energy, economy booms, too expensive and the economy crashes. Energy policy, oil policy, has therefore been central.

      The second is how specific industries can be directed. Maybe people will find it easier to accept that tariffs, subsidies and tax rebates have all been ways to do this.

        It was most certainly a technology coup of the ages for the west, both in hardware and intel.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          If Bernie does make it as the Democrat Candidate, they should just play that video of him saying breadlines are a good thing over and over.
