good policy makers will always keep this in mind...

Mere parsimony is not economy.... Expense, and great expense, may be an essential part in true economy.

Its a pretty basic truism... its something I try to always keep in mind @JimN2010 when I'm looking at the challenges facing this state and smart policy.

Policymakers who don't understand this tend to be reckless and/or radical... or radically reckless... or however you want to phrase it...

I got tied up with a computer that kept freezing up on me and then off to dinner. But I have a follow up post I was working on that I can hopefully post if/when I get the time to flesh out the last few points...

another follow up thought... the passions that rob the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning is fear. Which Conservative Ideologues have used effectively--denying that expense and sometimes great expense is necessary for a flourishing economy... has become the great failing of what has been in the past a grand old party. Now its just filled with "taxes are too high" bunch who lack any historical context in regards to what they are talking about...
