Either our central bank is run by idiots or evil crooks. You can’t sustain a consumer based national economy. Until we return to an economy based on production we will keep sinking into the swamp.

"Either our central bank is run by idiots or evil crooks. You can’t sustain a consumer based national economy. Until we return to an economy based on production we will keep sinking into the swamp."

The Federal Reserve is not the cause of our lack of domestic manufacturing and other production. It's only trying to make our move to the bottom as smooth and gradual as possible.

One major, real cause is that of local, yocal regulators and their NIMBY friends (pensioners, government and government-linked business employees), regulating against small development and manufacturing. I'm in the middle of nowhere in a majority Republican County with extremely few residents, and there's a zoning regulation ("law," they call it) against any manufacturing--even a one-horse operation. There's another one against doing any automotive work, more of them against all kinds of property rights.

We have the government we deserve. We're morally bankrupt.
