A person who is arrested for smoking a joint or petit shoplifting and enters the criminal justice may never again be able to enter the real economy. <br /><br />No amount of education can cure this deflection.

That's pathetic. "Let's all put on our thinking caps. How can we possibly do what we already did? This will take a lot of study."<br /><br />In what other field (besides economics, which is really politics, and journalism, which is really politics) do we not know what we know?<br /><br />Part of the reason i can't debate republicans is because i checked out of day-to-day news years ago. What's the point? Just solve the solved problems.

Of all her panelists it is painfully obvious that only David Cay Johnston has anything intelligent to say about the subject and that his presence and prescience makes those around him uncomfortable. So why would he force feed such a great big both sides shit sandwich down the throats of Americans in this clip? (He makes these both sides shit sandwiches all the time.)<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhNosiPKaoA#t=98<br /><br />It really is a great clip. I just love "tricky" Dick Durbin's reasoning!<br /><br />Like what you hear from DCJ?
