"The tree of academia must be refreshed from time to time with the ruthless culling of asinine and useless majors and professors, thus restoring the glories of the actual liberal arts curriculum and Western canon."
I would also point out, though, all wishful thinking about the destruction of CLA parasites aside, that one of the solutions advocated in the article calls for immediate raising of income taxes, which is anathema to what we stand for, n'cest pas?
Better to cut spending on the useless crap that we haven't needed for years, especially the socialist leftovers from the so-called "New Deal", and concentrate on returning to the idea that "the business of America is business."
I really got a kick out of this one. It's so simple, but so articulate. I frequent your website and turn to the captain when I want reliable, accurate information on the economy or politics. Now, take it for what it's worth, but I am a recent 2006 high school graduate and veteran of 175 wars with an economics teacher over his erroneous methods. With the grandfather report, your website, and a handy NRA journal in my store of weapons against his left-wing brainwashing plot, I continually attempted to pursuade "the leaders of tomorrow" to open their eyes to the failings of liberalism. I fear it was wasted on deaf ears, but I continue to try and fight the good fight.
You have to know when your battles being waged won't be won.
Not because you won't win them, but because your enemy will never admit or accept that they'd been defeated.
You arguing with a public school economics teacher is like me trying to convince a politician to get a job in the private sector.
You could compose the most articulate and solid arguments, the problem you are going to face IS NOT that you'll be incorrect or somehow wrong, but that you'll be completely right, but you opponent will never admit to it for it would destroy their fragile perception of the world.
Your economics teach is on the public dole. he/she will never admit to the government doing wrong, because that might mean they pissed away $50,000 per year on his/her salary. That they and their careers are a result of an economic inefficiency or oversight.
ie-the left will never admit they're wrong, because to do so would eliminate their entire profession; the need for government.
So you can heave and haw all the best of empirical evidence against them, covince millions all around, but THEY themselves will not be convinced, because it would be such a suffering blow to their ego, but more devastating, they'd have to admit they're living a hypocritical lie.
OH! And yeah! the Grandfather Reports (Michael Hodges) is some serious good a$$ sh!t!!!! Charts are phenomenal.
