A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

... makes it especially painful.

Being a real economist means I know that its not personal ... after this many years running away from the infrastructure investment that the nation needs, you can't expect there to be work for everyone ready, willing and able to work.


I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

... knowing that it needn't be this way, I know that it could not only be better, but it could also be massively worse.
