The Tech Industry is dependent upon huge amounts of Investment Capital….

Per the National Income Identity:

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) = Government Spending + Consumption + Investment + (Exports - Imports)

Currently total government spending is more than 37% of GDP. Inflation and rising interest rates are causing Consumers to spend more for less, and the nation continues to run a sizable trade deficit.

Bottom line is there is very little GDP left for Investment.

Not only is there much less Investment capital for the Tech Industry, but growth of GDP is primarily a function of Investment.

To reduce Inflation, Interest Rates, and increase our Gross Domestic Product requires a significant reduction in government spending.
