The economic hiccup of the present Fact or Fiction

A common sense approach to resolving the economic national disaster is to maintain the strategic spending of the last fifty years: then pass it onto the next generation of well-educated fools to repeat this cycle in perpetuity.

Let me see if I'm getting this right. We want a common sense approach based on the reality of real life, from a population that for the most part lives in an economic fantasy, with delusions of forever supported by an imperialistic military? A nation that euphemistically thinks it can still spend its way out of a crushing national debt, to become a shining example to the rest of the world?

I wouldn't count on the common sense part of this equation if I were you :).

PS: Anyone up for a fantasy cruise to the spellbinding plateau of mount madness with a topping of conventional insanity into the realm of quantum delusion? Tickets are open for discussion. The cruise leaves precisely at the hour of nonsenseJ.

Haha Amusing, I agree there are a lot of debates out there though the confusion is that ordinary folks think they can..the military is another point of view and is nothing in comparison to the non-military life..in times of real trouble it is then that they come into force..not before..(much like a police force really)..so its down to the clever people that are changing everything in and out of businesses and lifestyles too. The house always wins no matter the subject or game played on them..they do call your bluff and then some.. Enjoy the cruise :-)

If you can't beat them, join in the profiteering and retire comfortably. My cruise started 14 years ago and I'm still on the merry go round of fun in the sun:)"

You might examine the differences between governments and families or businesses with respect to money.

To what end, nothing will change anyway. I'm comfortably retired now with no worries:).

If you are content to not understand I will leave you in peace. :-)

I do understand Larry, I just don't find worrying about it makes any difference:). PEACE

We in the USA as well as almost everywhere except North Korea and Iran always use inflation to decrees the debt and then pass it on to the next generation. For example, I remember when Gas was 15 cents a gallon and one got a Coke for a nickel as well as a large chocolate bar. I was driving a car then therefore it had to be 1958 and earlier.

I learned a long time ago that percentage wise nothing ever really changes, so I rode the rollercoastered sunami into an excessively comfortable retirement while still young enough to enjoy it. Fighting a sunami is a losing battle so ride the waves:)).

Deficit spending could work...

We could buy 16 trillion lottery tickets and hit the jackpot an a disproportionatre number of them...

Obama could go to Vegas and put 16 trillion down on number 13...

We could invest 16 trillion in the next dot com boom...

It could happen...

But I don't see much future in food stamps...

The future in food stamps is in getting the government contracts for the printing and advertising Jo Jo. Waste not, want not:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))......

A little humorous, but true.

Laughter helps the madness go down, in the most delightful way:)).
