I am sick of people spouting bullshit about the bad economy.
Stop blaming the Republicans, the Democrats, the Fed, Wall Street, people 'living beyond their means', investment bankers, deregulation, big government, bla, bla, bla.
This is the equivalent of a bus getting a flat tire and the passengers standing around bitching about it and blaming each other. Just fix the fucking tire.
And everyone seems to think the economy is some uncontrollable thing like the weather.
From Wikipedia:
"The economy is the realized social system of production, exchange, distribution, and consumption of goods and services of a country or other area."
I don't think it's even that complicated. The economy is simply people trading goods and services.
You want a good economy?
Trade goods and services. Go sell something. Go buy something.
Do what you can to make it easier for other people to do the same.
Don't panic, cut jobs, raise rates, or start hoarding crap.
Keep prices and wages at a reasonable level.
Give people a break on their taxes, their loan payments, their interest rates...
It's not that fucking difficult.
Just fix it.
