Our greatest economic woe is that not 1)many people
around the world are buying our goods like they were before 2008. The
reason is that there is large-scale unemployment in most places. This coupled
with a large amount of debt, carried by governments, pension funds, and
individuals, have left people and governments searching for solutions.
For individuals and families, 2)financial austerity is
the answer, but all too many governments around 3)the world are applying
this same logic by cutting services to their citizens. 4)What does
austerity accomplish in my country, the USA? Cutting back on 5)our
massive defense spending would be a big help if we used the money saved to
keep our k12 school systems and public colleges adequately funded. If, instead,
we layoff teachers, increase class size, and raise tuition at local colleges, 6)it
would be a crime if we do it in order to maintain our massive defense
spending.
7)Another solution offered is to reduce federal and
local debt by raising taxes on the wealthy. While some of the wealthy
understand the need, 8)others say that they are the job creators and
raising 9))their taxes will kill jobs. So far, 10))I haven’t seen these job creators
create jobs. 11)President Obama has tried several stimulus plans to get
these job creators moving, but, with one exception, no one will create jobs
until they see customers. 12)That exception is the federal government.
13)Businesses will not create jobs until they see
customers. They won’t see enough
customers until unemployment is reduced. 14)This is a problem without a
solution unless the federal government steps in and creates jobs. 15)We
all know that our infrastructure needs a makeover. Now, at a time when 16)our
government can borrow at 1.6% on a 10 year loan, 13)we should put aside
our debt fears and do a job that needs to be done. 17)This will create
jobs, then customers, then the expansion of other businesses, and finally
greater tax revenue to pay off the debt.
This cure not new. After over a decade of limping along
after the great depression, 18)prosperity returned when the government
had to tool up for WW2. I hope we can be smarter now by avoiding the war that
some of our politicians are aching for, and instead replace our ailing
infrastructure with new, innovative solutions. Some projects can be: installing
fiber optic cables in all cities, building a countrywide high-speed rail
system, reworking our electric grid, subsidizing green industries, etc. 19)True
some existing industries will suffer, but just like the buggy-whip makers
of old, 20)they will have to find ways to adapt to the changes or fade
out of existence.
