Krugman: "It's Time For A U-Turn"

[bvar22]

15. I would too!

... because I checked the map, and we're headed in the WRONG direction.

We already KNOW what works:

*90% tax rate on the Highest Bracket,

*minimum Capital Gains Tax of 25%,

*international Trade Polices that protect American Jobs, Wages, Benefits, and the Environment

*Fair Competition regulations that prevent the Big Boxes from undercutting Locally Owned businesses

*Trust Busting ANYTHING that approaches "Too Big to Fail"

*Massive Government Spending on Infrastructure

*Expansive Government JOBS programs,

*FREE Higher Education,

*REAL government assistance for low cost quality housing,

Those policies are NOT theory.
They are the HISTORY of the 50s and 60s here in the USA.
Those policies built the largest, wealthiest, and most upwardly mobile Working Class the WORLD had ever seen.

POOR/Working Class people with Money to Spend is the foundation a good economy.

Lets try THAT again!
