Steven Horwitz letter to an editor

Excerpt…

In fact, consumers cannot spend what they haven’t earned, and government cannot spend what it hasn’t taken from producers through taxes, borrowing, or inflation. Rawlins falls for one of the oldest fallacies in economics and one that has to be pointed out every generation. Demand does not create wealth, the production of wealth creates the ability to demand.

Night grand finals are shit.

They certainly are. Last year I had to inform fellow Cat people more than once of the time that Channel 9′s telecast started. Very confusing.

It should be played at 3.00pm.

Too right. No man can be expected to wait until night time to get drunk on grand final DAY.

Thankfully, so far the only victim has been Billy Idol.

One of the greatest moments in this country’s cultural history. The look on Idol’s face as he stormed off the ground was priceless.

And no, I’ve never been able to find it youtube. Perhaps someone has uploaded the footage since…

Too late for rugby league. They’ve had night grand finals for years. Thankfully, so far the only victim has been Billy Idol. Next time i don’t think we’ll be so lucky.

seriously sorry, I didn’t go to journalism university of the modern age.

I thought that I had neatly segued from Costello to Andrew.

I was referencing an article on Andrew’s Blog.

Some conservatives do not always have to agree with him.

I think that he does enjoy a well reasoned argument!

Have you got a couple of issues confused? What’s Costello’s article got to do with the ABC?
