And although such analyses are useful, if you want me or anybody else to believe they are conclusive in establishing causation, then blow it out your ass. Liquidity has not been adequately restored to the credit markets, the toxic assets have been over-valued. If you believe otherwise, try getting a loan in Vegas. So you studied economics at BYU where we're not exactly at the top of the food chain in that arena. And by most estimations, economics, though fascinating in explaining emotional human behavior, is far from a physical science. The explanations are interesting and studies can be fashioned based on one's biases to explain what the scholar "believes" is occurring based upon the techniques of the industry, which is overal skewed toward a Keynsian format. You'll get no argument from me that a country will benefit more from a culture which encourages engineers and peoples building and manufacturing goods. My own children are geared for that very reason toward engineering and architecture. A developed nation which has no industrial and technological base has no future in my opinion. Ours is obviously dwindling.

2. Who cares? Don't even respond. Mormon wannabes are silly. Let me know when a BYU related graduate actually wins a Nobel Prize in Economics. And that person happens to be you.

Except in Accounting and Engineering, BYU has plummeted in most departments. BYU law is in shambles, when it was once a proud school headed upwards. Our most recent Dean is a guy, who is probably a great human being, but with limited or no outside connections, as opposed to past Presidents. Its students stay too frequently in Utah. It is too concerned with the appearnce of religiositiy rather than the actual devotion to spirituality and devotion to humanity. BYU's research aim is pathetic, (what is it research in comparison to let's say, University of Texas at Austin?) it will never achieve Ivy League status and hires too frequently from within. Its staff ris limited in what it can publish and administration does nothing to promote its successful professors. We need to stop hiring GAs as university presidents. They don't belong there!
