Times and circumstances change and we should be prepared to do the same.

I had hoped that some would read the column cited and at least think about what the columnist, a Nobel prize-winning economist, had to say. Again, I wasn't trying to convince people to change their minds, just consider a different point-of-view. Times have changed a lot since Reaganomics was the vogue. Students of the theory should probably review economic history in the context of the political environment to decide the effectiveness of that economic theory. One needn't get involved in partisan discussions to determine whether or not it worked.
