I tried to start a thread about this RAND report a day or two ago.
It's fallen off the new posts list, or its so far down the list I never see it.
Reality based policie discussions are verboten subjects, to some here, I guess. | Our government's "think tank" ain't connected to any "act tank" . Do we get to vote for these thinkers or are we just stuck with them like presidential candidates ?
