Good Questions

Why is so much effort being put into propping up


those at the top of the economic pyramid


 …when during a period of deflation like the one we are in


any recovery will come only by restoring the confidence of the people


down at the bottom of the pyramid?


 


What happens when people buy a car


once every 10 years instead of once every two or three


especially now that we taxpayers own such a big percentage


of the American auto industry?


 


Instead of promising the imminent return of good times


why isn’t Mr Obama talking more about the importance


of living within our means and not spending money we don’t have


on things we don’t need?


 


Is there to be any limit on bailouts?


 


Is there no room left


for what the Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter termed


“creative destruction”?
