The only wise economic moves would be those toward sustainability. Trying to simply continue as we have for too long is suicide.
At even 3% growth in G.D.P., the American economy would double in about twenty years. Is there a sane person who actually believes such a thing is possible?
Well, 3% growth in an economy as large as ours is actually a huge increase. What's 3% growth on $100 compared to 3% growth on $100 trillion? $3 versus $3 trillion? ....
Of course, I don't really believe the real economy grew by 3%, but just staying even is a big deal in itself with the numbers we're talking about.
