Notice a trend? All the countries that are beating us are much more socialist than we are.
I used to be a big free-market wonk, but the current mess we are in is exclusively due to the ‘invisible hand’ grabbing as much as it can for itself. Damn the consequences.
Yeah, sure, the free market will ‘sort things out’. With a housing/market crash and ensuing mass unemployment. Is this really the best way to handle things?
Don’t worry– the capitalists on wall street are all being nationalized, albeit by a bunch of kings, socialists, and communists.
Those governments can spend their money keeping our inefficient companies afloat…
