Fantastic news for American patriots, from Morgan Stanley...

Frankly...this isn't especially surprising nor earth-shattering news for those of who aren't fully invested in the "collapse of American society", and Cut!, Slash!, Austerity!

But...this DOES buttress the arguments of those of us who're convinced that we should concentrate on growing our way out of whatever current debt/deficit issues may exist, rather than engaging in a buncha garment rending, self-flaggelatory "sacrifice".

Ask a Rightwinger to point to where austerity has worked in American history to create a boom.

Reagan? No...he increased spending. Gingrich and Clinton? No...we spent more in each budget every year.

They have no examples.

The Clinton Era is an excellent example of the power of growth. We can agree to disagree as to exactly what part the "dot.com boom" played in the Clinton Era economic wonderousness. But, we can't honestly debate the fact that the boom was an essential element.

The linked story - along with so many others - suggests a coming boom that should be considerably more significant and American-beneficial than the dot.com boom. The Fox/GOP knows full well that this boom is on our horizon. So.....WHY are they shouting cut, slash, austerity, and "entitlement-hate"? Could it be????...heaven forbid?, that they're playing us for godamned fools?

Rambling on.....Could it be that the Fox/GOP is seeing their window for spewing entitlement fear/hate, slamming shut in the decades to come?
