Is it me? Once I used to think this dude had someting to say but this must the most wishy washy puff I’ve read in a long time.

This, particularly, I found so against the grain of my own thinking as to be absurd:
It is possible, of course, that the United States will solve its political problems and finally adopt the stimulus measures that it needs to bring down unemployment to 6% or 7% (the pre-crisis level of 4% or 5% is too much to hope for).
oh really? Is it, of course, possible? Political problems solved? Needs more stimulus? They will reduce unemployment?
among the comments was this one I thought well worthy of consideration:
Twice this guy cites “ideology” as a problem when what he means is greed-based “corruption”. The one thing I have yet to see addressed is TO WHOM, exactly, is all of this debt owed? Does anyone here have a breakdown or even a general idea?
I believe that this is important for one reason. There will eventually be a major war to settle this debt. Care to bet? My suggestion is that we embrace this ‘fact’ and get on with it, but do it slightly differently than we have in the past. Instead of the peoples of our various countries, as in the past, acting as proxies and shields for the real protagonists, the rich elites, we simply kill the rich to whom most of this debt is owed as ‘casualties of war’ and the debt is fully repaid on all sides, many fewer people are killed, maimed, twisted, and our cities and possibly our entire civilization are not destroyed. William of Occam would have liked this solution and his namesake tool would be handy in its execution, so to speak. Certainly this would be a reasonable ‘sacrifice’ to the realities of human history, and these people would hardly be missed by the rest of us, at least not nearly as much as we will miss our own children if conventional historical solutions prevail.
