[PEN-L:6195] RE: Collective Rights Of Youth III

I am really sorry that I have to reply in the manner that I am about to because it is in fact a sad commentary on today's youth. That being said, here goes. I am not sure that the youth of this country honestly want a strong input into anything. I work extensively with student government for

[PEN-L:5251] Interesting little quote

I found an interesting little quote in my mail today from some publication called "Imprimis"note I did NOT order this trash it was simply sent to me so I could "share" it with my students...which I will not. Well, enough of my talking, here is the quote: It doesn't matter if

[PEN-L:1535] Re: Women in the...

I can very well speak for Loren since I am him! I was not in ANYWAY looking to blame ANYONE. Instead, I was simply looking to have an intellectual discussion on the relationship between capital (the capitalist) and the increased participation of women in the labor force. I never brought up

[PEN-L:1497] Women in the workforce and Marxism

I am only beginning the development of an idea that I would like to hear some of your opinions concerning women in the work force. Before I begin, let me preface this entire post by stating that in NO WAY am I advocating anything that would limit womens' entrance into the labor force; instead, I

[PEN-L:1508] Re: Women in the workforce and Marxism

I find it very interesting that no one to date has picked up any thread of the argument that the capitalist is the big winner or that investment may actually be redarded by plentiful and cheap labor. This was the main emphasis of my orginaly post. I would really like to hear what the list has

[PEN-L:1427] Elimination of States or at least State Taxes: A Proposal

I have been kicking around the idea of eleminating the states as an economic initiative. While I realize that this is not a feasible initiative, I have also considered the possibility of a federal ban on all state taxation. I believe that there would be considerable benefit to this sort of

[PEN-L:5913] RE: Right or Left

Peter and others, I am finding that these posts are very helpful and an enjoyable means (with one notable exception!) to exchange ideas such as the one that came up today in my team teaching experience. My primary goal is to learn how others view these sorts of issues and I am

[PEN-L:5510] RE: Clinton's balanced budget

I am very curious to see if *ANYONE* can offer me a reason why we need to balance the budget given the cost associated with balancing it? I have not yet seen a single argument for balancing the budget that was not easily refuted! If there are any conservative lurkers out there on this mailing

[PEN-L:5108] RE: Two queries

Dear Pen-econers I am quite curious as to why the SL bailout must cost anything? It seems to me that when loans go bad what is really happening is that money is destroyed from the economy; nevertheles s the assets are still in existence. If this is the case why cant the federal

Help a poor fool out please, what is "setting mail digest"? What exactly does this do? Thank you Loren Rice

[PEN-L:4268] RE: library of congress magazine

Dear Cathy I have the Ph.D. and have never heard of this economist either. Further intellectualy history is not such that anyone "locates the precise point where" anyone goes wrong. Sounds like some sort of onesided idea that should not come from the library of congress. Loren Rice

[PEN-L:4143] Const. Amen. Proposal

Dear List members: I have a proposal for a constitutional amendment that seems to make more sense than any of the proposed legislation currently before our Federal Government. (This should not come as a shock) Without further ado here it is: CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT: It shall

[PEN-L:4150] Re: Const. Amen. Proposal

Dear Alan In response to your question, "Why higher education?" I would argue that higher education is the key to keeping people from needing to be put in prison. It is quite clear to me that we do not currently have a highly educated prison population; in fact, I believe that I have

[PEN-L:3991] Re: capacity utilization

Dear listmembers It seems to me that the Federal Reserve is once again operating under assumptions that may have been valid in years past, in this case decades past, that are no longer valid. If you will remember the Federal Reserve did this in the early 1980s when they should have

[PEN-L:3998] Re: capacity utilization

Dear Doug ' Unfortunately this is simply a hypothesis at this point and therefore is not yet supported by clear statistical evidence. Nonetheless, your point that service sector inflation has grown much more stongly than other sectors offers some tangental evidence that my hypothesis is

[PEN-L:3964] Balanced Budget Amendment

I am wondering if there are economist out there that support the balanced budget amendment? If so could you please reply and tell me why? Also if you are against it could you explain why? I think this group may want to address this issue from both a theoretical and practical view. I hope

What will this do to the use of internet? Will this very large increase in the number of users overwelm the hardware currently in existence? Recently I spoke with a rep. from Digital who predicted that the use of the internet on a large scale basis as it is now moving towards will destroy
