Planned economies gave us the transcontinental railroad and telegraph lines. Planned economies gave the south electricity through the TVA. Planned economies built the "Space Coast" of Florida and helped Huntsville Alabama and Houston Texas grow.Seems even Capitalists have a hard time with responsibility too. If those vaunted Capitalists were as responsible as we all hoped, they certainly wouldn't keep wringing out more profit at the expense of small investors. Those Capitalists wouldn't have had to employ robo-signers pretending to be bank officers just to get more foreclosures out the door. Those responsible Capitalists wouldn't have polluted parts of this planet so they can no longer be occupied or farmed.That's because progressives have a difficult time with responsibility - meaning you.
Sure there's a lot of blame to go around. But it has to GO AROUND and not just be deposited at the feet of political opponents.
That's not a very responsible way to behave.
I wouldn't exactly call investing in bonds or buying a car or home on a 30% interest rate "investing."
I want real capitalism - not this dictated bullshit. However people continually elect asshats who support the idea of a planned economy - and planned economies fail.
And a planned economy helps your grandparents enjoy retirement with dignity and health.
