11. Free Lunch
A new book by some economics guy named David K. Johnstone. He was interviewed on NPR Fresh Air. Talked about bush's Texas Ranger deal, which was gotten by RAISING the sales tax. Tax the many to benefit the few, plus some nice eminent domain taking of property adjacent to the ball park.

Sounds like a good book. Please read and then post the "executive summary"

I posted this elsewhere, but I'm in the machine tool business since late 1979, and I've seen almost all major American Machine Tool Builders vaporize into dust by the stupidity of the people that run them. American auto makers seems to be following their lead. Like, proposed new emissions standards are the first increase in fleet mpg in thirty years? WHO KNEW the future would bring an increasing demand in reduced emissions and better mileage? How many Harvard MBA's would a poor corporation have to hire to predict that?
