Me too. You can't have a real economy disguised as Capitalism, with Oligarchs running it.I just hope it isn't too late. Not kidding.You cannot have real Capitalism with models like this. It all started with Reagan. Until we acknowledge the truth, and the vultures continue controlling the 99%, Capitalism will remain dead.We subscribe to Capitalism. Let's abolish our alleged and expensive public policies known as wars on crime, drugs, and terror. Big Government is Bad, isn't that Right, right wingers. Otherwise, we need the market based metrics provided by Capitalism regarding the capital worth of those public policies as discretionary spending.Well, the first things we need to look at are the deficit and whether we want the Fed to remain as important to the economy as the consumer.We are in modern economic times. Policies which help automatically stabilize our economy should be preferred to help reduce normal market chaos.Meanwhile, back in the real world, no one can know what's going to happen with the economy.
There are far too many variables, far too many unknowns, far too many potential black swans, far too many potential unexpected positives.
Making assumptions based on abject ignorance is certainly a person's right, but that's all it is. Noise. Partisan mental masturbation.
We're in Capitalism 2.0 now, and we don't know for sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But we can't keep this hyper-Keynesian version of Capitalism going forever. The question is what to do about it.
In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice of life and property that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment due to a war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. Therefore, we demand ruthless confiscation of all war profits.
