Drivel Journal Editor

Few in Hong Kong are buying the political elite s mantra that the national education program is the right thing to do. They know that practically all of the ruling elite s children attend expensive schools in the United States and the United Kingdom, where they would be shielded from the mindless drivel at home.

The Harvard economist Robert Barro, writing in The Wall Street Journal , recently made an intelligent argument against America s fiscal stimulus. After wading through the drivel of ethics free Republican hacks and knowledge free academic hacks who claim, one way or another, that the basic principles of economics make it impossible for government spending decisions to alter the flow of economic activity, reading Barro comes as a great relief.
