Macro, this country has had debt for decades, nothing has changed. The only way to fix it is to grow, and one cannot grow without spending. Cutting does nithingnothing but stop growth. There is no such thing as a free market as the govt feeds billions into the largest companies. Truly I wish there was a free market. Would have fixed a lot of things.

I think we do need to increased spending. But, not government spending. It leads to nowhere. We need companies to spend. There are ways to make that happen. It just won't happen with the current administration.

Or with the previous one. I think there needs to be a ceiling on compensation for the man at the top. No, not a maximum wage, but a ratio and proportion like we forced on the Japanese. The man at the top can make unlimited money, as long as everyone else who did the work gets to come along. Also, there must be a proportion of profit that is re-invested in the company or other viable investments. I realize that this is a little simplistic, but a look at what happened to Columbia Health Systems under Rick Scott should show what happens when the guy at the top can take it all. We seem to be doing that same thing on a national scale. The country can't grow, or even just reach equilibrium if these things keep happening.

I congratulate you on your growth. I made most of those same arguements a couple years ago, and you called me a liberal elitist, and other words to that effect, and indicated you thought I was insane. Probably the heat of the moment. The congratulations are sincere, by the way, you've done an outstanding job presenting your views in this thread.
