It's too bad that we haven't learned our lessen yet,
You can't buy your way out of a recession that you bought yourself into.
The age of a consumer based economy has been over for 40 years. We have been living in a debit based economy and China is buying!
In the world system, remember the golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules.

Problem is, with modern lobbying, EVERYTHING passed out of Congress is usually corporate welfare---one way or another. If, for any reason, a bill is proposed that is not corporate welfare, you'll see super-slick ads on TV against it before it is even enacted.
