Oh here we go... all the arm-chair economists trying to explain how an economy works. Am I the only one who was taught that the economic utility of an individual was independent on who/what was paying for it? Nurse, no economic value... dental hygenicist, economic value? Teacher, no economic value... tutor, economic value? Amirite?

Let's be frank, without some teachers, nurses, doctor's and other 'economic parasites' we'd have a lot fewer geo's, engineers and even rig-pigs.

What we are arguing is really about the optimum blend between these two types of workers and is what is best for an alberta citizen the same as what is best for a shareholder.
