Re: The Cuckoo's Nest
Yes. You know, I did not see that movie until a few years ago! It stood the test of time. It was a great movie. One that made you think. I believe Jack Nicholson prefers movies that make you think as evidenced by "Iron Weed" and "The Crossing Guard", which, as some of his other efforts, did not make a big splash monetarily, but had quality acting and addressed something significant to our society.

Consumption is indeed important in a free economy: particularly the freedom of consumers to buy their goods in unhampered markets. However, key to long-term economic growth is investment (savings), which is the opposite of consumption. Public policies that promote consumption — such as low interest rates — do so at the expense of savings. Less savings means less investments; an economy that does not save or invest will consume all of its resources and eventually end up bankrupt.-David Saied
