an economy based on principles?
I sure would love it if our country would start making decisions based on principles.
I do know that because we made some pretty bad decisions in the past, that if we now started to live up to those principles that we would have to deal with the consequences and that these might not be easy. But we're suffering as it is from those lies and deceptions. Might as well go all out and just start doing it right. I guess that's what they call a revolution.
But now we're just trying to make a bad problem go away by shifting the focus.
And yes I'm talking mainly about what's on everyone's mind... the state of the economy. But I certainly wouldn't limit it to that.
An economist seems to be worried about making sure the money doesn't disapear and how to make more. Mix that with a politician who is mostly concerned about happy people and votes in the short term. A short term fix as a placebo for the masses. Get them a job and some money to get them through this crisis and leave bigger issues for the age to come.
What's another 10 trillion in debt for the country? Why not support failed and decaying business practices... as long as they're giving jobs to my voters.
Why try real honest and principled solutions when they're gonna be so hard and probably unpopular.
It's sad really.
What do you stand for?
Are you alright with standing behind a principle of doubling the debt?
Are you alright with babying people for now to make them happy?
Are you alright with sacrificing an economy based on sound and responsible money for not having to deal with the real consequences of our system and way of life economically?
This isn't an Obama vs Bush thing... this isn't Reps vs Dems... they both support this system, just in slightly different ways. They have their differences but neither is making the changes. The republicans are yelling about it now, but they didn't do their job when they were there and in fact it's their greed that caused a lot of this. And now the democrats are screwing things up... just in a different way. They both suck! They suck and we suck for letting them screw up our country.
Are you alright with this? Or do you just want to see Obama and friends patch it and pretend that the foundation isn't crumbling.
If he paints the outside of the house all rosy colored are you still ready to move back in... or will you understand that it's structurely unsafe?
So what are the economic principles we want to abide by?
Shall we pick... those that make us the most money? Or is there something above that?
