The Smart Money's Gloomy Scenario

I agree with the propositions in the article, but not all of the comments posted. Reagan was a great president, but those who got elected on his political coattails got obsessed with his rhetoric and carried his conservative ideals to extremes. Enough of the Left-Right ideological arguing. In general, Chaos Theory, based on observation of natural systems, explains well how the inner feedback loops of any system inevitably correct the excesses and abuses. American pragmatism and common sense are driving the corrections, not "left" but back toward the center. Reasonable persons can disagree with "how" this best occurs for the good of the whole, but casting ideological roadblocks into the path of emerging centrist policies make no sense at all. True patriots admit mistakes were made and move on.

Changes in our system sre systemic

Most of us with economic and management training prior to 1975 have felt uncomfortable with the changes to our system and values that have taken place since about 1970. The changes have reduced our ability as a nation to manage recessions and prosperity within our borders as well as the security and peace that allows us to live daily lives. Many reputable academics and consultants warned us in the 70's and onward that the proposed changes being enacted and the inexperienced people being empowered would change the very fabric of our lives. Unfortunately no one listened and we sought world peace and global security by dismembering the very ways our society made itself great and a beacon to the world. Many foreigners seeing what has happened to Americans do not want their countries to be like us any longer. We have dropped from one of the highest per capita incomes to one of the lowest in the industrialized world. Globalism, the new world order, and supply side economics have failed us!

Lefties will tell you.

There you go again. You leftists or whatever you are that just posted you have no clue. Go study econ from the Austria school or Friedman. Give me a break if you want the wonderful 1970’s again we are headed right down that path. This was not a failure of regulation it was a failure of government getting too big. You leftists love to look at the current problem with blinders on. You completely ignore that the gov in their infinite wisdom distorted the market and gave us the situation we are in. The gov screws up everything it touches, and yet you think it is the answer. Is that not the definition of insanity? Get a life quit drinking the cool-aid and think for yourselves. We can return to prosperity but we have to get BO out without too much more damage. If you raise taxes on the rich do you think they are going to try as hard as they do and give the rest to you, taint going to happen. They will sell everything they have and retire to the Bahamas and let you rot in hell. I know I am not going to work for you I will find a way around it. Think about it. If you love socialism so much feel free to pay more than you do now I will not.
