INDEED, THERE IS NO ECONOMIC CASE...:
Making a moral case for capitalism (Arthur C. Brooks, 10/20/12, Philadelphia Inquirer)
Earlier this month in the first presidential debate, Mitt Romney made an unusual argument by modern political standards: that long-term deficit spending is not just an economic issue, but a moral one. "I think it's . . . not moral for my generation to keep spending massively more than we take in, knowing those burdens are going to be passed on to the next generation."
...against deficit spending, only a moral/aesthetic one.
