Meanwhile wages are still flat. Inflation over 3% and our deficit has ballooned to a historic level of a trillion dollars and our national debt has risen to 22 trillion dollars.

We canâ(TM)t grow our way out of debt you can be damn sure the rich wonâ(TM)t let themselves tax our way out of debt. I wonder what our tax rates will end up being when the national debt bubble pops. Yâ(TM)all screaming about we canâ(TM)t afford healthcare at 1.5% tax increase on employee and employer what will you say when we pay more in taxes than Europeans and have no guaranteed healthcare, no guaranteed retirement (401k is a piggy bank for Wall Street) and your kids are too broke to help. Your parents and grand parents will be dead and theyâ(TM)re the ones to blame.

Go read Manna by Marshall Brian. I think they have the right idea. We should automate and create robots to do everything possible leaving people to be creative and collaborative or just chill on a beach somewhere. Our monetary system is holding us back in so many ways itâ(TM)s getting dangerous. Would we be having arguments about global warming if nobody had to spend more to solve it? The only reason we managed to tackle the ozone hole was the industry impacted was not big enough to fight it off like the oil industry was able to.
