How bizarre is the scenario of what is happening in this nation, and the world, of central planning — totalitarian sovereign government — that is an absolute failure, is not identified as the why it is.

When anyone who but needs to use reason, based on maturity of experience, reads this fallacy, one can only speculate that this manipulation of the artificial economy, created by all government, is beyond the reasoning of rational man.

Here is the absolute irrational and illogical concept. First, that an expansion of what is making the problem is the answer! What irrational and ignorant person would conclude that that makes any sense?

Where is the example that debauching the currency, destroying the wealth of all people, in every country, at the whim of the government, has been successful?

There is only one example known throughout the history of the world where government was able to deal with the economic mess, created by the very governments that created the government. The administration of Warren Harding faced one of the worse depressions this nation ever faced. Yet, in our history it is not even acknowledged. Why, the why is simple. Government did what government should do in the economy of a nation; NOTHING.

The results, the size of government was shrunk by 25%, reducing cost by the same 25% — Is there a relationship between the size of government, and the cost of government; seems probable — and by not spending money on government, the debt of the nation was reduced by 50%.

Can that happen today? No way, the why is obvious. Today we include those who work for the government as employed. Really, are they not a debt on those who pay taxes to pay them the welfare they receive? There are so many parasites in this nation, who produce nothing, and yet are rewarded immeasurable to what they produce, it is ridiculous. Why is it that hedge fund managers — manipulating monetary policy and speculating in the stock market — are some of the most wealthy in our society, producing nothing.

Think of the debt of this nation today. Harding could lower the debt because of why? The debt was not as it is today. Today the debt of this nation, is so large that if this nation, paid every cent earned by the society, for the next 50 years, we would not be able to touch the debt that is accumulated. Think of that, we earn in this nation close to $16,000,000,000,000 of Gross National Product. How then, in the world of reason, can we be $25,000,000,000,000 in debt, or recognized debt, and because of the absurd way of our Congressional Budgeting Offices accounting of $250,000,000,000,000 of unfunded liabilities?

Reason, missing from our nation, and our government, has resulted in a mess that has no way to correct, until we once again apply reason.
