A Few Updates

I'll make this short, sweet, and to the point, so I can get back to posting what I presume to be great content.

• I will be doing a live blog of the anti-federalist papers. I provided a quote from #1 yesterday and today intend to go through all of the first paper today.
• The market failure challenge is still going on. I'll answer the contention soon of "insufficient aggregate demand." If you don't know what that is all about, it is basically the assumption that justifies the use of stimulus.

Cramming Legislation Down Our Throats

Sorry I haven't been around much this past week. The quarter just ended and I am busy grading papers and also had my graduation. I will get back to posting regularly soon. In the meantime, though, I will provide this quote from the anti-federalist papers #1. In case you are unaware, the anti-federalists were those who were opposed to the ratification of the Constitution.

Those furious zealots who are for cramming it down the throats of the people, without allowing them either time or opportunity to scan or weigh it in the balance of their understandings, bear the same marks in their features as those who have been long wishing to erect an aristocracy in THIS COMMONWEALTH [of Massachusetts].

Does that sound familiar to anyone?
