With the chainsaw we need to be prepared for a very rough hull with a few holes in it that will need to be patched up. What we are going through right now is more like field repairs than a proper shop overhaul.
It is going to be a rough go for quite awhile and at the end of the day we may end up the same place we would have had noting at all been done. There is a 100% chance things will not end well if nothing is done though.
If the next administration or the one after that change course the failure will be faster even yet.
Sometimes cleaning out a spring to make it run better just drops the water table faster and it dries up sooner.
I am anxiously waiting to see how it goes. I am so late in life I may not see the ending of it.
Right. I think we are simpatico on this. We have to take these measures. We are so far in debt we won’t be able to tax our way out of it.
We are going to have to grow our way out of it, and maybe even tax too.
To grow our way out of it, the economy must grow. For the economy to grow, there must be industry. (Service sector jobs will never do it)
To get industry back, we need to make it profitable. Tariffs are one component that is being used to bring industry (jobs) back.
