When you subtract deficit spend(money printing) the economy is actually shrinking. My guess it is shrinking 1-2% annually. Maybe more.
Even if we get a magician elected they couldn’t turn things totally around... We need to contract severely, it’s inevitable at this point... We need to fire 50% or more FedGov employees and cut spending by at least that much. Of the remaining employees dedicate 10% of them to identifying and eliminating outdated and harmful regulations... Find a way to let the TBTF banks fail and end the FRB system, confiscate all their stolen wealth starting with GS and Citi. The treasury should control the money... Declare an income tax holiday and implement the only idea that’s less intrusive , the FairTax... Immediately start on fixing the built in flaws ,, delegate power back to the states , no more popular election of senators... get actual constructionists in the SC. ,, purge all Obungholes “pen and phone” edicts and fire anyone that implemented them in any agency they reside in.
We’ll still have a 2-4 years of hell but we’ll survive.
