AS THE RANTS CONTINUE ABOUT HOW MANY TRILLIONS TO CUT FROM THE ECONOMY...
NO ONE IS ASKING...CUTS TO WHOM...FOR WHAT...?
IF THESE CUTS ARE STRICTLY ACADEMIC AND ARE STERILE TO THE ECONOMY...DO THE CUTS...BIG TIME...
BUT IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT SEVERAL TRILLION CAN BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE DEPRESSED ECONOMY WITHOUT EFFECTING SOMEONE...
DO WE CLOSE LIBRARIES IN SMALL TOWNS...? CLOSE 10% OF THE SCHOOLS...?
DO WE STOP FIXING ROADS...?
THERE IS OBVIOUS BLOAT IN THE WAR DEPARTMENT AT THE PENTAGON...
AND THERE IS EXCESSIVE CHARGES IN HEALTH CARE WHERE DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS ARE ESSENTIALLY GIVEN PERMISSION TO "PRINT MONEY"...HOWEVER MUCH THEY WANT...
THESE CAN BE CUT...BUT EVEN THERE THERE ARE REAL WORLD CONSEQUENCES...SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOOSE THEIR GOVERNMENT CHECK...AND SOME JOBS WILL BE CUT...
WITH ALL THESE TRILLIONS BEING CUT...THERE WILL LIKELY BE ANOTHER LEG DOWN IN EMPLOYMENT...AND IN CONSUMER DEMAND...WHICH WILL CAUSE EVEN MORE JOBS TO BE LOST...AND SO IT GOES...
AMAZINGLY AS THE DEBATE CONTINUES ABOUT CUTS...THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE CUTS ARE NEVER EVEN MENTIONED...
