Recently all we hear is the slogan "We're going to increase government spending" or "We're going to lower interest rates and print money" all in the name of "spurring growth". Do we all wholeheartedly agree with this reasoning or is this just another government ploy to rob their fellow countrymen under the guise of civil service?
The naive will say the government knows best what to do with our money and therefore they should spend it. On the other hand common sense says, "You liberal arts college graduate government bureaucrat, get your god damn hands out of my pockets! I worked hard for my money and will not tolerate you taxing me and telling me it's for my own good."
Personally I cannot stand these arrogant condescending people. They truly think they know what is best not only for you but all of humanity. They claim their throne by any means necessary blind to the suffering they leave behind them in their quest to save humanity from itself. Never once do they stop to think what if we are the cause of the business cycles. After all since the founding of the Fed in 1913 every financial crisis has gotten progressively worse. Despite their stated goal to bring "stability" and "security" to the financial markets they have failed and remarkably gotten away with it for 100 years as only a government bureaucrat can. Still they pledge their government monopoly can "stimulate" us out of the depression. As if it were that easy and all that's needed for economic growth again is lower interest rates. As if common sense saving and investing is an option not a requirement. No, the government bureaucrats want to have their cake and eat it too. If we got into this mess by too much borrowing and spending the answer to get out is not more of the same. That would be insane. The answer to our economic woes is the time honored practice of saving and investing one's own money. Government bureaucrats are impotent and can only place obstacles in the way of the entrepreneur as he tries his best to satisfy consumer demand.
