Not even close. The democrats have tossed everyone under the bus in their quest
for unassailable domination of the electorate.
Even Mr. Nice Guy economist, Austan Goolesby, who appears on Fox often was
struggling to defend the limping Obama economy. He finally declared the problem
was a lack of population growth that drives part of economic growth.
He's smart enough to know that our population growth isn't a segment that drives
productivity or GDP per capita higher. It actually dilutes it down.
This is a direct measure correlateable to average standard of living.
They are knowingly pushing for a policy that isn't in the interest of the
average american citizen.
Population growth does raise total GDP a bit which is what the gov't needs to
sustain their ponzi spending habits but only for the short run. Long run it
increases the liability of entitlements even more and makes avoiding default
ever more difficult.
Goolesby knows all this but he can't bring himself to speak the truth as it
would be totally exposing the foolhardiness and unsustainability of Obama
economic policy.
Single payer is going to be a first step to default avoidance and it will only
be by asserting control to limit health care to the growing elderly population.
The current health care system simply delivers service at far too much expense
to sustain and they don't know how to lower cost
But since "health care" is now a human right, we can't have better health care
for those who can afford it and we can't afford unlimited care for all....so
everyone will be forced to accept limited care....except the ultra wealthy who
can always find a way or the gov't bureaucrats and politicians who will quietly
get their own program.
