A Nation of Thieves

For my Aggie Friends, congratulations, and I hope you took his class.

Edgar K. Browning, professor of economics at Texas A&M University, has a new book aptly titled "Stealing from Each Other." Its subtitle, "How the Welfare State Robs Americans of Money and Spirit," goes to the heart of what the book is about.

The article, A Nation of Thieves, by Walter Williams, underscores some of the fundamental problems. It also points out that the Defense spending is not the problem.

Big suprise there; someone from A&M doesn't take issue with the level of defense spending... I can only guess that they don't see agricultural subsidies as part of the vast welfare economy?
