The erudite Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the component parts of 'How to Weaken an Economy:'
*Government
*The Law
*Cynicism
*Top Down, Not Bottom Up
"The world is a finite system, a pie with only so many slices. There is no middle class, just rich and poor. For each F student, an A student stole the former’s resources. I would invest not in honor students, but in remedial ones. Grades and test scores should count little for college admission; life “experiences” and community service far better would ensure the presence of mediocre students. The aim again is not to turn out graduates with expertise or knowledge who build a strong economy, but to graduate students, brand them with degrees, and ensure they are invested in a similar ideology of redistribution..."*The War of Words
*Everywhere a War
*Deficits
*Interest
*Energy
*Success is Failure
