Wrong.

Excuse me? "Where there is growth in demand, there is a growth in employment!", that statement is wrong? Please provide some empirical evidence of your assertion that this widely accepted axiom is untrue.

Where there are pro growth policies, there is growth.

That sir, is wrong. There is no such thing as "pro growth" policies. There is only absence (or lack) of gevernment interference.

Growth is something the federal government and the Federal Reserve will not allow until the people get angry and demand it.

That is a silly statement. The government and the Fed want growth so they can continue to borrow. They are becoming desperate because all the old ways of faking growth are failing and the private sector is not growing (due to too much government interference!)

What is the ultimate source of demand? What does the government say it is?

Wouldn't a policy of less government interference be a pro growth policy?

That is a silly statement. The government and the Fed want growth so they can continue to borrow.

Really? How much money have they borrowed in the last 6 or 7 years of near zero growth, compared to the previous years where there was growth?

Why has the Fed wrongly claimed for decades that economic growth and wage increases are the cause of inflation and that inflation is the number one enemy of the economy?
