The only correction I want to make to your very nice piece is to your last paragraph, where you state that the argument being used by members of Congress was disproved forty years ago. That is not really accurate at all. It was disproved by the work set forth in the seminal paper on the topic, a paper by Harold Hotelling in his article, The economics of exhaustible resources, Journal of Political Economy (1931). Yes, that is right, 1931. That is 77 years ago, not just a mere 40 years ago. In other words, as old as McCain may be, the economics on this, and far more elaborately than in our simple model, was developed well before John McCain was born.

Most mainstream proponents of nearly everything economical have no idea of what they are talking about, as they cannot see the implications of their policies even one or two steps ahead. Strange that they want everyone to live by their bad policy, but of course, that's just me...... Mike This is indeed true.

Glad you are interested in economics. The key to success both politicaly and fiscally in todays modern world is to stay up on the issues. I can't emphasize enough how many people I know who either don't know how the economy works or just don't care. This is strange to me as if one does not know how ones enviroment works, how can one succeed? Anyway, before I start another blog post here, I appreciate that someone out there likes what we're saying! Keep checking back and if you ever want a topic covered, send me a message and let me see how I can help! Mike Cool. Glad you are interested in economics.
