I mean, seriously. I was stupid enough to take on the burden of student loans. At least give me the dignity of having the responsibility of paying them off.
How? How do you foster this economy? Through what means?
Cutting taxes, removing frivolous programs, making it easier to start a business, making it easier to run a business, removing unnecessary restrictions to spur innovation, reducing the military budget…there are a lot of ways.
We could remove the burden of employers to provide health insurance by providing single payer health care.
Yes, tax cuts have always led to much higher worker pay…
Are you crazy? That type of trickle-down nonsense has been thoroughly debunked.
You know what would make it easier to start and run businesses? Not having your most educated populace be heavily in debt. Building social safety nets so that starting a business isn’t as risky. Making it so healthcare isn’t tied to employment… you know what maybe taxes on the extremely well established businesses should be increased to pay for that.
What unnecessary restrictions are currently hampering innovation in your opinion?
No, no, no!
Forcing the people with the most up to date expert knowledge to “work for the man” during their prime risk-taking years (before having family responsabilities) because they’re force to due to debt, rather than being free to take risks as inventors or entrepreneurs, is a well known way of “promoting innovation”!!!
/s (just in case).
Cutting taxes doesn’t trickle down. Making it cheaper and easier to run a business doesn’t either. Removing “frivolous programs” has tanked the economy.
If you want to see what caused the end goals you speak of it was the new deal. Massive public investment paid by high taxes on high earners.
Totally agree. For the last few decades we’ve been gleefully giving the government money hoping it’ll trickle down to the economy. I guess we are getting a bit of a trickle. More like a tinkle. Like when you get up to pee but your bladder ain’t as full as you thought it was.
I think student loan write-off is putting money in the hands of young, educated, mostly single people, which is aimed at spurring innovation by allowing people to take risks at the start of their careers. So it’s not all of the things you’ve listed, but it’s one of the things. It’s similar to cutting taxes in effect.
