I promise to answer....

I never imagined that I would get so big a response to my initial article. Evidently for the first time in my life I have actually struck a chord with a significant number of people from across the political spectrum. Luckily for me this has not gone mainstream and although I hope my idea continues gaining mileage in various forums, large and small. Right now the inquiries are bit overwhelming and this is not my day job so I am apologizing to the increasing number of people who have asked me questions. I promise to try to make a composite answer here within the next week or so. Just have too many responsibilities right now to respond here in a timely way. I appreciate your enthusiasm and interest in hearing my opinions on various issues. My hope has been to not discuss policy too much (although I am very interested in public policy).However, I have come to understand that a part of the coalition building process is getting to know where everybody is coming from.  As a preliminary response let me say two things: First, I am not an economist and I while I have some strongly held convictions concerning economic theory and praxis, I have no formal training in the fields of finance, law or economics. I read widely but not professionally in these fields. I am not, therefore, going to attempt to debate the more arcane theories and research in fields that I am obviously not an expert. If you are wanting to engage me in this, you probably ought to look at academic professional journals rather than wasting time debating a lay person like myself. Second and lastly for now, several people have ask about my identity...I can assure you I am nobody famous and for several reasons at this time I would rather remain anonymous. I hope you can just take me at my word, I am not a right winger trolling among lefties, nor vice versa. I actually want  to pursue the possibility of a new coalition and maybe even a  new synthesis, not for theoretical purposes but for actual and practical political results. And ...no I am not running for political office of any sort! I will try my best to answer all of your questions as soon and as comprehensively as possible. Just please know that I am not wanting to be rude and I am not a professional blogger. Thank you all for your kindness, your curiosity and your patience.
