I don't think you've captured the nature of the question. If you give everyone a cash handout, some percentage of them might spend all of their allowance on alcohol and lottery tickets, and not have enough left over for food or r

Is there a way to use comments as an editorial device? A wiki-like solution, combined with a MS-Word Track-changes features, where you can make changes, and leave comments and it all shows up on the same page? Like with the health care a

I still haven't figured out why this is so controversial. You have a service that seems to be in inevitable decline. Instead of pretending that future revenue will always be enough to cover pension requirements, why not take steps no

In the larger sense, aren't all the representatives responsible? Certainly the ones who voted for it. I know it is controversial, but they should be reading the bills before passing legislation. And the ones who didn't vote? W

Just because of that one house that needs a paint job and some upkeep? Interesting that everyone appears to be able to afford satellite TV. You can surely find rougher neighborhoods than that.

Yes, sometimes it is quite surprising how sheltered people can be. I wonder how much of a role the asymmetry of TV and other media plays. People who live less affluent lifestyles can get any amount of exposure to extravagant living throug
