Yes, there is indeed, but you seem to be the one who is ignorant about
how it works. I'd suggest you'd be much more convincing if you
actually tried to support your position, or at least address what
you're disagreeing with, rather than merely making snide remarks such
as that above.

Where'd you get YOUR degree in economics from, Paul?
