.....The solution is actually simple: dramatically cut the size, scope and power of government; cut spending; cut entitlements; cut taxes; cut government rules and regulations that smother, damage and destroy businesses, prevent startups, and kill jobs; reform Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; reform public employee pensions; stop the wars (we can no longer afford to police the world); end or reform the Fed; end bailouts and stimulus (ask Japan about the failures of repeated stimulus); end the Democratic obsession with green energy and high speed rail (ask Spain about the waste in those two programs); encourage oil and energy exploration; encourage job creation by small business and the private sector; term limit politicians; institute school choice; and back the dollar with a gold standard.
You didn't state that one totally clearly. Are you saying you agree with me that the idea of returning to a gold standard would be an extraordinarily bad idea?
You're right: that wasn't clear. What I meant is that I agree with Wayne Allyn Root, the author of the piece to which you linked, in that the best way to repeat a 1929-style depression is to take the steps you quoted.
