Jim could be right.

Jim Barber disagrees with George Will's contention that the poor state of our economy can be traced back to LBJ's war on poverty. I don't know what kind of education Jim has, but George Will has a Ph.D. in politics with an emphasis on philosophy and economics. However, since Jim has commented, I'm sure he feels he's more qualified on the subject.

Jim says that "only a conservative ideologue like Will would blame the continued high unemployment rate on a failure of Democratic policies implemented 50 years ago." Jim might just have a valid point there. Perhaps we should more correctly be blaming the failed Democratic policies enacted six years ago.
