adam smith on empire

2008-03-22T16:36:00.002-04:00

Glenn Greenwald points out some timeless words from "Adam Smith's 1776 An Inquiry into the Nature And Causes of the Wealth of Nations:

In great empires the people who live in the capital, and in the provinces remote from the scene of action, feel, many of them, scarce any inconveniency from the war; but enjoy, at their ease, the amusement of reading in the newspapers the exploits of their own fleets and armies. To them this amusement compensates the small difference between the taxes which they pay on account of the war, and those which they had been accustomed to pay in time of peace. They are commonly dissatisfied with the return of peace, which puts an end to their amusement, and to a thousand visionary hopes of conquest and national glory from a longer continuance of the war.

barack obama: that's just being lazy...

2008-01-07T21:59:00.000-05:00

from an interview with barack obama today:

I think there are so many people who are telling us what we can't do, that we are inevitably divided between red states and blue states, that politics always has to be mean and nasty and personally destructive, that, you know, the poor will always be with us, that, you know, race, will always dominate, and racism will prevent an African-American president, that in our foreign policy they're all out to kill us, and, you know, we've got to go our own way.

You know, I mean, that's not being realistic; that's just being lazy intellectually.

2006-02-02T14:28:00.000-05:00

from an official whitehouse transcript:

"""
THE PRESIDENT: Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to what has been promised.

Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate -- the benefits will rise based upon inflation, as opposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those -- if that growth is affected, it will help on the red.
