Reply #7: The scary thing

[Bigmack]

to me is that, as far as I can tell, NO ONE in positions of power, the press, OR pundit-ville is talking about what MOST needs to be addressed.

"Besides, it puts the US in a category of economies that has members in the likes of Bulgaria before the Berlin wall came down. State run, inefficient, and most of all doomed to fail. "

It seems to me that the CENTRAL ECONOMIC ISSUE of our time is NOT central direction - control - OR the traditional US, inadequate, "free enterprise" solution, BUT rather it is the sustainability issue. THIS is the most important economic question of our time. WHATEVER "solves" it - centralized economic control - free enterprise - some rare commodity like intelligent direction - WHATEVER - is what is MOST needed now. Ms Bigmack
