What part of we should be is space, we should be on earth, spending money and doing great things do you not understand? We are held back by our own cowardice, ignorance and fear. Austerity is not the answer, it is the problem. No wonder business is slow to invest. Our Republican Congress creeps around, afraid to act, mired in their own graft, greed and cowardice.
“Tax and Spend” it was the problem 20 years ago and is the problem now.”
First off, taxation is still less than it was during the Clinton administration, which had the longest-running peacetime expansion of the economy.
More importantly, though, you get into far greater problems with “borrow-and-spend” than with “tax-and-spend”. Spending more than you make is bad under any circumstances, which Congress and most state legislatures have yet to figure out.
But if you’re going to spend, it’s much better in the long run to spend money you have vs. money you borrow. And whose policy is “borrow-and-spend”? (Hint: check out the guy who said that deficits don’t matter.)
