Incorrect. “Making more things” does not reduce government debt. Spending less money does.
We disagree then.
Government can spend less than what is once has already spent?
Never heard of such a concept.
We could replace all our coal, natural gas and nuke plants with brand new Solyndra solar panels.
Demand they all be manufactured here and paid for by the government. Of course we'd have to shut down the country at night and on cloudy days. And the national debt would double.
But at least we'd be making more stuff. Temporarily.
Making things generates revenue, which is taxed. Of course, entitlement reform will be the most important thing of all. If Obama wins another term (a scary thought), that won’t happen.
Making and exporting more product does indeed help...not sure where you’re coming from!?
