[quote=FlyerInHi]CAr, even with higher costs, our daily staples are still cheaper than the rest of the world.
If you read European papers, the debate is “what went wrong? Why is America growing but we aren’t?”
The problem in the EU is EU rules preventing deficit spending by governments and coordinated deficit spending across the Eurozone.[/quote]
Brian, those are our daily staples. The fact is that we have been losing ground for the past 10-30 years.
Deficit spending can work, but only to a point; and it’s extremely important that the spending is directed at the most productive and useful things going forward. The militarization of our police departments, never-ending wars, etc. are NOT productive uses of our public monies.
