89. Excellent excellent post

what is the plan for taking an economy which used to be based on growth and moving it forward based on no growth

Exactly. Perhaps the ideas of decentralization and self sufficiency, starting locally could help. Everything that can be done locally and nationally should be. Starting with food and things everyone needs- shoes, clothing-etc. If someone wants to buy a shirt made in Vietnam or chickens from China let them- but put a tariff on it. And energy- nothing has been done in 40 years to really address the problem but it can be solved- and jobs created. Jobs that don't involve huge tax sheltered corporations drilling holes into the earth and injecting chemical soup for some gas.

And how is it that a maid barely earning enough to make a living has to pay any federal tax at all while giants like Apple and Verizon pay ZERO? This is pure insanity.

Large companies find ways to a zero tax rate

Also-Blowing trillions of borrowed money invading Iraq and Afghanistan hasn't helped. Just creating more enemies. Imagine those trillions invested in infrastructure and energy and manufacturing. There was apparently plenty of money to invade Syria too. Bollocks!

Meanwhile we are paying criminals at the banks $85 billion a month, and they are letting that pile up at the Fed while we pay them interest on it, and they reported record earnings this year.

Bingo. Why isn't the Government printing their own money? Money should be a public utility. The constitution provides for that, no laws would even have to be changed.
