I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

Some Sane and Rational Thoughts on the Economy

I have said before on this blog that I like to read the words of individuals who make me think. I do not seek to surround myself only with people who agree with me. Those who only want to spend their time with the like-minded are impoverished intellectually.

I have my places of disagreement with Dr. Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University, but I find his reflections on the economy and how the government is simply going down the same road that got us into trouble in the first place to be very compelling. I have linked his thoughts that he expressed yesterday on Morning Joe for your consideration.

What I find troubling is that it seems that the people who truly know what they are talking about are not in the White House nor Congress. The wise are being led by the ignorant.

This is good because it points our the exact nature of a corrupt legislature that cannot act for its own good, let alone the good of the nation.
