Ok, so, you want your money to do the right things? This is easy—if we stop being blinded by the “crisis” mantra.
In four easy steps, we could have plenty of money ready to pay for everything we need:
• Ask the rich to pay their fair share;
• Be serious about health care costs;
• Reign in Wall Street; and
• Cut, to quote Dwight Eisenhower, the military-industrial
complex.
We could do all the above and lower the tax rates of working Americans.
We should do this but not because of a government deficit or debt “crisis”.
There is no government debt or deficit “crisis”.
We should do all this because it’s better to spend our money in other ways—better for the people in our country, better for the people around the world and better for the planet as a whole.
When I say plenty of money, I mean trillions of dollars over the course of the next decade. Yes, that is trillions with a “T”.
