Are Government Debts Leading us to a Keynesian End?
6/11/10 Economists on Fox Business News discuss what happens when governments accumulate too much debt and can no longer use Keynesian tools to boost artificial economic growth.
I don't buy into the idea that we can continue to borrow forever any more than I believe we can base an economy on a non-renewable resource forever. We need major economic and energy reform NOW.
Obama touched on this last night but I thought his speech was weak: there's no leadership, no passion, no plan, and no urgency.
Great link 45North - I missed the President's speech, but looks like the linked article covered it pretty well... If it weren't so damned serious, I'd say our whole corrupt system is nothing but a laughable joke...
At this point in life, I'm actually becoming numb to many of the world's serious issues - concerns that typically get followed up with partisan political bickering, a coverup of some sort, or an idiotic decision that completely defies logic and / or the common sense test. What have we become - Is there hope???

My thoughts exactly. I agree 100% with the guest.

Thanks, Randy.

The one thing Obama did not do was put a tax on oil! Pretty simple to do. Effects would be immediate conservation of energy. We do it in Canada.
The plan is to stay in power.
