But America's recessions have more to do with the Fed manipulating interest rates and flooding the market with devalued currency to create artificial bubbles.
Our numbers get bigger, but the value of those numbers decreases.
If people had more of their money and the federal government had less, we'd be better off. State's would start programs that the federal government now handles. I'm totally ok with the state running programs to help the unfortunate (not the lazy) but it has to be kept at a state level imo. There is more accountability and less of a fog to hide corruption.
This would also keep money in local economies. It would strengthen communities individually,and then these individually strong communities would create stronger states, which would create a stronger nation (strong meaning stable and productive).
The major flaw most people have in regards to government is they think it should increase as time passes.
I argue just the opposite. The purpose of government should be to work to make independant citizens that have no need of government. In theory, I think it's possible that at some point, government will not need to exist.
That's a little off topic, and would require a resource based economy (which I'm fine with), but it still kind of fits with these ideas I'm talking about.
