The Austerity Class is Wrong: Budget Cuts Hurt Our Economy

3. You are SO Right

Demand is what makes our economy grow. For there to be demand someone has to be spending and that means means people have to be working. It is simple math - first grade math.

I know it won't happen unless and until the GOP retakes the White House and then infrastructure might actually become a bigger priority than contraception. I have no hopes they'll ever get on board with going green or conservation.

We need to start spending heavily on infrastructure and repairing the infrastructure that is falling apart. How many more bridges have to collapse before we figure that out? We need to raise the capital gains taxes too.

But, of course, I'm not saying anything reasonable people don't already know.
