If elites and 'know it alls' are out of the loop the solution will just happen.

I think that is true, but I make the following observations:

1) We are not a market-driven economy. Big Government allies with Big Business in an economy of fascism and control. This works against workable solutions.
2) We could achieve workable solutions for the future (as we have done in the past) if we could break the stranglehold of Big Government and its crony capitalism tendency.
3) Big Government always seems like a good idea when people want to avoid suffering. How many government programs have been imposed on us "for the children"? If we really want market solutions, then we really have to hold Government Charity at arms length, and we really have to accept a certain amount of real suffering, so that society can move toward real solutions.

Based on our current social and political state, I have no reason to believe that either politicians or voters will tolerate market-driven solutions.

We should have a free market. We sometimes tell ourselves that we do have a free market. But we don't. And without a free market, real solutions do not "just happen". What we get, instead, is just more Control.

Right. They try to control us, we escape.
They come up with a new way to "help us" and oppress us even more. We escape again.
They come up with another, then another, then another, to make sure they get THEIR fair share of the slaves labor.

We work to support the politicians luxurious lifestyles and their special interest groups to keep them in power. We get to keep the scraps left over.

Americans need their right to freely own property back. That way, if there aren't any jobs, they can fall back on themselves and their land to survive.
(Screw the politicians and their support groups. Let them get real jobs to support themselves.)

Suddenly hit me what one of their games is. Claim we have free-market economy when we don’t, then when their fascist theories utterly fail, say it was the free market that failed. Voila, more fascist control.
