Otherwise you are 100% right! Kudos!

Thanks for the reply. I agree with you that pro-growth policies, reduction of the deficit and taxes, and energy exploitation are the only way to go. I’m not sure it would be enough, and I don’t know if we can even get those things, even if we win in 2012. But it’s all we can do.

Thanks for your ideas. I don't think our problem is related to not having a gold standard. I agree with you that a big part of the problem are these socialist programs from the New Deal and that they should be abolished. The problem has been 70 years in the making, and as much as I'd like to wave a wand and eliminate all the bad government programs, we will have to operate in 2012 with a small majority if we have one at all. It will take time and effort to reverse socialism, and we will need to be as persistent as socialists have been.
That said, without a LOT of fair market creativity in 2012, it won't matter whether we win or lose, the system will be in big trouble.
