Will American's ever wake up to the fact that Raygun's economy was the result of stealing money from the states and maxing out the kid's credit cards? We have been in a downward spiral for three decades and the answer hasn't changed in all that time.

Military spending, every dime of it, is a net loss to the economy and therefore must be drastically cut. 50% to start.

Privatizing the commons must immediately stop and what has been turned over must be taken back or, if it has been allowed to deteriorate by the parasites that have been sucking it dry, rebuilt.

Taxes must be raised dramatically on high incomes, especially unearned income, those that take from the system have to put it back if we are to survive, and we may have to consider a tax on extraordinary assets as well.

Of course this sucks, we started the process under Carter but it was short-sighted wishful thinkers that chose to believe they could put it off. Now the bills are much higher and will be more painful to pay. It is only right that the lion's share of the load be borne by those that benefited the most.
