If the Republican Presidential Debates, and the ongoing
responses from the White House, are about real solutions, they will be all
about the government effectively incentivizing free enterprise.
If the Tea
Party and Occupy Wall Street events are about real solutions, they'll promote
ways to more effectively incentive free enterprise.
As long as government force is the dominant factor in our
economy, things are going to get worse.
The Bush-Obama economic environment we
live in combines stifling regulations with massive government spending and
uncertainty about what Washington will do next.
This incentivizes decreased
growth, decreased hiring, reduced investment in the U.S., and business moves to
foreign economies with better incentives.
Unemployment lingers above 8%, and the real number when we
include all who are underemployed is pushing 20%.
The mortgage bubble may not
have reached its lowest collapse, and inflation or deflation appear imminent.
In response, the White House now recommends more government spending,
regulations and programs.
One can only wonder: Why?
