If an individual did what the fedgov. is planning to do they would be considered reckless and immoral....

Although I am starting to find the idea of simply running up more debt and hoping to be able to pay it back more and more appealing....

Especially when I won't be the one having to pay it back.

Spending money creates a return on somebody's investment. Buying stock is the equivalent of buying a huge TV at this point. Even this huge debt can be managed by a recovered and growing economy, particularly if the tax structure, including protective tariffs, is revised so the people we borrowed the money from wind up paying themselves back. The trick is to get the money from the people that own and hoard it to the people that work for and spend it.

Uh, no, in fact many of the economists and leaders in the world, most notably from France, Germany, and the Czech Republic, are saying the exact opposite right now at the G-20 summit.

Why is saving money or stocking your pantry now referred to as hoarding?

We all know the only way out of this hole we have dug ourselves through the use of too much credit is to spend more....

Hopefully using a credit card.
