it would seem to me, ace, that your economic metaphysics would leave you in no position to complain about anything any firm does. uncle milty friedman tells us that what firms do is generate profits for themselves and that anything beyond that is outside their competence and so unethical. and we all know how well that worked out empirically----but we're not really talking about the empirical world when we talk "economics" with you---so using your own position to go by, if banks choose to focus their resources on making higher rates of profits for banks to the exclusion of enabling commercial lending to get unstalled, who are you to complain? you should like it. self-interest uber alles and all that.
o and can you riddle me how exactly it is that the discussion about television prices devolved out of a conversation about obama's first year in office?
thanks.
