@oralloy,
The problem with that argument is that money does not in fact grow on trees, and that we have for so long pretended that it does and other economic malfeasance has pushed us into a global depression which will likely be followed by complete global economic collapse. It also has a lot to do with how the global political leadership has so massively lost the trust of the people.
There was never a lot of money to spray onto the fire.
Pretending that there was and other fantasies carries massive consequences.
Our ancestors often did better, they paid attention to reality, they thought that they had too...
They were very right about that.
