Your suggestions will only come to pass after the crash. The Left lives in a delusion and will not allow any of that to occu. We may need to revolt to get it done. Washington has enough Democrats and enough panty-waist Republicans that actually want Socialism if not outright Communism. That is what they created all these bubbles: to crater the economy and middle-class wealth. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if 2008 was the last Presidential election.
I tend to agree...unfortunately.
I was trying to show just how far we are from actually recovering. The solutions out there are a JOKE, especially the idea (from Republicans, of all people) of trying to kick-start the economy by restarting the housing bubble.
Of course, the ideas of the Dems are just as bad.
...but not a peep about our underlying problems that really led to the loss of our industrial base...from either party (as you allude to).
