The Good Life

For most of us, the good life is more a futuristic idea than current experience. We’re all hoping and dreaming of better times, even if we feel successful now. Those very successful either want more wealth, more time with their families, less aggravation in their lives, or more safety for their assets. No one I’ve ever met wants to work harder for less.

If we stay on course as a society, will our children’s lives be comfortable in twenty years? How about in fifty years?Better than ours, or worse? Much worse?

What lies ahead for us all, and even more importantly, for our posterity? Do you think leaving our country and society in good shape for our children and our grandchildren is important? How about our public debt. Isn’t is a moral issue?

It’s not hard to prophesy about their future if we continue building the national debt the way we have. We won’t be able to ignore this terrible problem forever. Without getting frozen in fear, we must first realize we have a problem.

What do we do? How do we correct our ways?

Explaining how we got here is easier than you probably realize. First, we must understand how our politicians think about economics.

We should start with why they say certain things. It guides our first step, the baby step, which is a giant leap ahead of where we are now.

Why does Nancy Pelosi say things like, “Food stamps and unemployment benefits give us the biggest bang for the buck in economic stimulus.”

You may say it’s because she’s crazy. In a less diplomatic moment, you may yell out, how could she be so stupid!

This raises questions we must answer. Is it stupid? Why or how could she say these things? Does she believe them?

Here’s the answer: She doesn’t know much that’s true…certainly not about economics

Ronald Reagan said (and I paraphrase): “It’s not that liberals don’t know much, it’s that they know so much that isn’t true.”

Ms. Pelosi quotes and paraphrases “the macroeconomic advisors.” This is the problem. We must understand the severe deception that comes from Keynesian economic theory, because Nancy, has Ivy League Professors telling her Keynesian economic craziness; it’s why she says crazy things…and it’s why we’re heading toward disaster if we don’t change our ways.

The foundational difference in classical economic theory, rather, actual economics, and Keynesian economics is pretty easy to see. It is incumbent on us to know these things.

Find out how Keynes went wrong. You’ll also find out how Karl Marx went wrong, and how the Democratic Socialists of America want to bring their form of  Marxism to America.

Learn how to talk to your kids about it. Don’t let them become Bernie Bros!
