Au contraire, I don't agree with degsme on everything. So I certainly don't have "blind faith."

The big difference between you and degsme is that he doesn't claim to know everything but is more willing to back his arguments up with facts rather than with "intution" (which you have told me several times is what you do.) I go on intutition a lot myself but I have no illusions that my "intuition" is invaribly correct.

I stick to the simple and straightforward (this isn't rocket science). Yet you would rather place your blind faith in Degsme's "sophisticated" decorrelation studies adjusting for this, that and the other thing as "proof" (PROOF) that progressive economics works (despite all its real world examples of failures).

Well I guess it's just that I've so often been proven to be correct. My "intuition" is backed up by age, intelligence and superior math skills, so it usually works.

Well, I think that degs and I might well say the same thing. So it is a standoff. It is up to the audience to decide.

Nope. A chance to earn a reputation as a thoughtful poster and serious voter is about all I can offer.

(Gabe, if you could focus and channel your obvious energy, you might surprise yourself.)
