Balfour makes the case for basic economics in this N&O letter to the editor – a case that, sadly, must be made time-and-again because bureaucrats and utopia-builders are usually deranged by zero-sum thinking. A snip:
"Diverting resources from the private sector into the less productive hands of government bureaucrats slows overall economic growth. A low rate of economic growth always disproportionately hurts the working poor, who are at the margins of employment and job security."
