What libertarian fantasists fail to calculate is the long term costs of allowing West Tennessee to continue to die. Look at population figures for the last four decades. Most counties in the West have lost population or remained stagnant.
Unless we decide to keep propping up these counties, they will become bigger and bigger burdens on the state. And in those decades, no investment in jobs and technology anywhere close to the Ford deal to provide major economic stimulus for decades to come.
While Beacon provides a valuable service and is a state treasure, one can never forget that libertarians are like Marxists. They worship sonething that doesn't exist. There is NO free market. None. Never existed. Never will. Societies limit markets because they value other things more than economic efficiency.
So lets be happy West Tennessee has a future even at the cost of a little ideology.
As the author of A Disgruntled Republican I often post items which I think may be of interest to the conservative, Republican, libertarian or the greater community. Posting of a press release or an announcement of an event does not necessarily indicate an endorsement. Rod
