If I were Prime Minister, I'd be looking to build optimism around public and private infrastructure projects. Boris Island would be a nice start. Upgrade the network infrastructure. Smarten the grid. Secure PCs. Build new energy sources.

At a time like this, why not construct the architecture for the societies of the twenty first century? These things provide jobs and offer revenue with a long tail to it. And you can fund them at delightful interest rates, at least if you run a country with its own currency.

the keynesians may not make us fell good, but at least they have some scoreboard.

Supply side? yea right ... look at BushII or ... well, Wave.

Yet over and over again, gov debt to create demand to be relaxed post growth seems to keep us a few step removed from Auschwitz, and every once in a awhile those for infinite accumulation win the day ... and the we get Auschvizt, only a few are worthy, only a few pay their way, only a few contribute anything and so all should go to only a few ... in which case one has a lot of extras.

READ THIS:

An amount of wealth in the US was recently transferred to 6 humans (not 6%, just 6 people) equal to the combined wealth of 60 million humans.

Really. 1 person, 1 US citizen recently revived wealth proportional to 10 million US citizens. Certainly I agree with this right, and certainly this bloke at a desk did more than the 10 million other US citizen that a meritocracy would require him to exceed.

The myth of meritocracy requires that those receiving the rewards of merit contribute at levels beyond the set of others. Fair enough.

But in the US, we have 6 people that match the wealth accumulation of the bottom 30% of the population.

That is one person per 10 million. Seriously, one person per 10 million.

Make that make sense?

really?

Let me ask you this: what would be the consequence of those 6 people deciding not to work tomorrow and their equal asset valued 60 million counterparts.


The same disconnect that some complain about in Wave (and some with stated right wing ideas) are exactly what is going on broadly.

Its OK to reject the WAVX BoD. The world will not end.

It is OK to tax the Walton Family, the world will not end.
