I can certainly see where an emotional person who doesn't know much about economics would try to turn this into an emotional issue. It's not. It's an economic issue. The whole reason why we step from one financial mess to the next is that we don't make political decisions based upon economic forces such as supply & demand. Political decisions are typically made to benefit the power of politicians. They do so by making emotional arguments to people who don't really understand much about economics but who know how to pull a voting lever. Congratulations, that means you. > People are not machines and, as messy as you might find this fact to be, have emotional components. And this has precisely what to do with the economic health of the country?
