Are you too proud to read through my articles or something? You seem to have glossed over a _crucial_ part of this article.

That's why the sentence started with, "While* economists* remain divided on the role of government..." You might have had a point, otherwise. -Lance On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 12:56 PM, Jarrad Reiner <[email protected]> wrote: > You have no idea what they are.
