My question is for you hellblazer. What SHOULD the government do about the economy? No bashing Obama or Liberals, just simply what you think would accelerate the economy.
I wanna play, too.
Here's my recipe for getting us out of this hole. [1]
Before we "accelerate the economy," we need to accelerate the trough of the business cycle. We need to clean out excess production that society doesn't want. And we need to do it in every... single... sector.
Here's how to do it (and here's where the madness begins): [2]
Let the guvment implode. Let it go. All of it. That includes the prez and his henchmen. It includes the fed. It includes defense and armed forces. It includes every single entity that feeds like parasites off taxes, legal tender bullshit, deficit spending, regs, and laws.
"
Oh my gosh! What about police? What about teachers? What about roads? What about my grandmother's social security check and medicare? Who's gonna protect us from the taleeban?!"
"
WHAT ABOUT..."
Stop. Take a breath. We're chucking it all.
Now that all the bullshit is gone from the picture, what do we have?
Well, we have property and a method of voluntary exchange. We also have millions of people who need and want stuff, and they're willing to exchange something the provider deems valuable.
Need a haircut? Come up with something the stylist wants.
Need food? Your local grocer, farmer, or neighbor is gonna want something for it.
Need a house? Start building, or find someone who's willing to exchange theirs for something you have that they want.
Same with every good and service.
How can a market economy make this possible? Well, here's where I cop out: I ain't gonna spend the time explaining. Not even on a Friday. The fact is, if you have read any of guerilla's posts, you'll already have the answer, even if you have forgotten it. If you've read them, and you're unconvinced, I can live with that. Anonymous forums aren't the best place to convince people of anything they're not already convinced about.
Every salesperson has to pick the hot prospects, and ignore the tire-kickers. Same here.
That's my recipe for getting the U.S. out of the hole. How do we get there? Well, two ways:
1. Bloody revolution. It's a dirty business, and nobody want to do it, including myself.
2. Education. Learning. Planting seeds in people's heads (irl), and watering them (the seeds, not the heads). It starts with getting people to understand that every time they vote, they're complicit in the problem. Just as complicit as the German citizens were as Jews were being killed. [3]
The problem ain't partisan. That's for sure. The problem is guvment. And people vote for guvment.
Stop voting.
[1] It ain't gonna happen. No one has the stomach to see it through.
[2] C'mon now. You
know it ain't gonna happen.
[3] Nod to
Godwin.
