Richard Hanson, Grafton, N.D., letter: America’s widening wealth gap poses threat

Joe and Therese Warmus, Euclid, Minn., letter: Simon’s words echo down the years
Julian Simon "loved to point out,” as Richard North wrote in his 1998 obituary, “how the Low Countries of the 17th century or the Japan of the 20th had grown rich through a combination of a lack of resources and the presence of a well-, but not over-, managed market."

Klaus Thiessen, Grand Forks, letter: Celebrate GF’s high marks in job growth
An important subset of Money Magazine’s “financial” category is job growth over the most recent 10-year period.

OUR OPINION: Equality, efficiency and CHIP
As voters repeatedly have shown, Americans don’t want either a heavily redistributionist or a “you’re entirely on your own” society. They want a society that’s somewhere in between.
The Children's Defense Fund should accept this and work to minimize or ease the trade-off rather than pretending that it doesn’t exist.

COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: Cruising bumper to bumper in a rush-hour world
Winston Churchill famously observed that, “You can always trust the Americans. In the end, they will do the right thing, after they have eliminated all the other possibilities.” Is that still true for our generation? We’re going to find out.

OUR OPINION: Equality v. efficiency: The central trade-off
The trade-off between equality and efficiency is inescapable. Both parties should own up to it, and accept that ever since the New Deal, Americans politics always will strike a balance between the two.

OUR OPINION: N.D. centers need, should welcome a state assessment
Don’t write off North Dakota’s Centers of Excellence program just yet.
Last week, an audit asked whether the program — which is administered by the Department of Commerce — was being adequately assessed. At the time of the audit, it wasn’t, the report declared. This unsettling finding brought North Dakotans up short and is getting Commerce’s full attention. But the audit looked only at how well the centers were being assessed. It didn’t examine whether the centers are being successful.
