This worked in the 80’s because back then we were still a savings-based society.
That handi-work pushed us into becoming a debt society, borrowing from our future to pay for today.
20 years of that and the piper returns, only now the government is throwing more money we don’t have at the problem.
This feeble attempt to mitigate fear and panic will deepen our debt, further weaken our nation’s financial credibility and in the end only make things worse.
