Who would have thought only a year ago that you could grab an extra trillion here or there and chuck it on the fire to stay warm????? the old - 'who's going to pay for it' the old 'how will we pay it back' team - forget it ---------- it's all fantasy we need to learn that we just go ahead and do what we believe we have to do for a vibrant and healthy future - and, we need to just plain STOP - sit down and try to see where the world and the planet is taking us - and, I can tell you one thing that's as clear as crystal - we are NOT going to need ditch diggers -------- we are going to need smart, well educated people - it's that simple and, by educated - I do not mean that they know technical things like how to dig mines or build buildings ----------- we are going to need people who can study, analyse society, how it is, where it's come from and how it's changing, we are going to need philosophical input - strongly these are the very basics of advanced human thinking that are required as humans move through the ages ---- if someone ever finds an Australian politician awake - they might like to just plant that little idea --------- because they sure don't have any idea atm

I agree with you that we need to plan carefully for our shared future. Where I differ is that I still believe the laws of economics hold no matter how much we shake our head and say this time is different. What we are seeing now is the suspension of economic realities to allow financial theft. Like turning off the security systems at the bank after dark to allow an inside job. If nobody notices the bank still goes broke. Printing money is just that.
