4. The deficit is being used as a stalking horse...
...by the Cons. The Con powers that be realize it is a way to organize their minions for political social engineering and Progressives are increasingly falling for it. This has to stop. They have once again convinced us to play on their ball field.
We are in the midst of a deflationary recession/depression that is being masked by tremendous amounts of liquidity being shoveled into the markets by the Fed and other central banks. Focusing on deficits in such a global economy is foolhardy at best.
We should be focusing on:
1. Energy efficiency 2. Clean energy R&D 3. Environmental remediation 4. Infrastucture development 5. Global debt moratoriums/forgiveness 6. Income inequality 7. Education 8. Global resource management
These are plenty of jobs out there with lots of people who want to work. The problem is elites manipulating the conversation by arguing over numbers on a spreadsheet.
We have a global fiat money system that uses floating exchange rates. We are not bound by gold/commodity "limits" on growth or investment. We are bound only by our imaginations.
