Seth, I think the statement "When it comes to Free Enterprise nothing's free" sounds spiffy but gives Free Enterprise a bad rap. The free in free enterprise is not tied to cost. It is wholly a reference to independent creative initiatives that will hopefully produce goods and services serving the public and rewarding the entrepreneur.

Thanks, Seth, for telling both sides of the story in way that makes it so clear (at least to me) that each side has its own problems and that neither deserves blame, that we must work very hard to get through them, and that there is a big role for government in all of this.

When was the last time there was writing of this clarity and import about critical issues on Cape Cod? Oh, I remember. That was when S Rolbein edited the full paper version of the late and lamented Voice. We are lucky he is still at it, telling us what's new, interesting, and important, always with style.

My 29 yo daughter with a Master’s Degree, working 3 jobs can barely afford her rent. Nevermind health insurance, car insurance, utilities, parking, and oh yeah … food. If she had student loan debt, she’d be up the creek. And the rent goes up every year. Thats what we left this generation of young adults just getting started. It’s a damn shame.
