I remain in awe of the ability of "progressive economists" to talk about unemployment and not mention the elephant in the room and to talk about New Deal measures to combat unemployment during the depression and *still* not notice the elephant in the room. The Sandwichman is not under any delusion that a "thirty-hour bill" could make any headway in Congress today. But the conversation has to start sometime and somewhere. Organized labor isn't doing it. The "left" (if there is any such thing) isn't doing it. Academia isn't doing it. -- Sandwichman _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
