Like if we do not obtain prosperity, our education system is slipping and we are on the verge of a “Great Depression” I believe that Warren is correct, and hope for the best but Africa and Asia are very unstable. BTW teen pregnancy is up in the US. Chaos could still apply, the world population is going up and denial of blowback could cost us.

I believe that Warren is correct, and hope for the best but Africa and Asia are very unstable. BTW teen pregnancy is up in the US.

Birth rate is just enough to sustain population. Many European countries are already struggling with population decline. Japan is in serious trouble. No immigration, very low birth rate. No chaos theory, just fact. US is growing due to immigration. Birth rate is just enough to sustain population. Many European countries are already struggling with population decline.

Seems with prosperity women don't want as many children and have them later in life. Last I saw world population goes negative in a few decades.

Monkey? This monkey in Warrens world would be employed and insured, He is upset with the Chinese stuff because his Government sold him out for profit! Also in my view you are stereotyping. Warren? How does your plan stop the over breeding of the ignorant? Some people seem like they will have 10 kids just because they can. We need to see that the world is already showing signs that there are too many of us. Mr. Chinese POO? Monkey?

I think Warren also weighed in on this, that the TARP is essentially an asset exchange, so it won't have any real effect on employment or aggregate demand. Though I guess some of the banks are using part of the money to pay salaries, or other things. It is true that the second half will supposedly be used to stem the foreclosure tide, so I guess that's a positive sign. I don't see any GOP people who are actually in power really supporting a payroll tax cut. Just look today, the House approved the stimulus which includes a $500 payroll tax rebate, and not a single Republican voted for it. Not one... Definitely going to be interesting Matt,

I saw a guy on youtube who says he doesn't like chinese stuff while smoking some pot. He takes a "made in the USA" baseball bat to all those imports that you say are a benefit and smashes them good. If many americans are like him and want to smash thier "beneficial" imports, how can you win? You have utterly lost the war of ideas with the common people. I am sure he would like a job working as a park ranger growing weed in the forest to sell or give to your daughter to fry her brain cells. At what point will you concede Warren that too many monkeys like him and thier monkey wrenches have been thrown into the system? Our prisons are already bursting with drug users. Exactly how many human beings do your models/paradigms predict can be taken off idle and put to productive use doing something without one big mess? Certainly you are not advocating policies without hard numbers and calculations of humans to resources type ratios are you? Engineers built the titanic, a holy nut the ark. Sometimes more is not better. You talk about no stimulus without restraining aggregate demands in other areas - IE oil - fewer humans would solve that problem - did no one here watch logan's run? Why is restricting welfare babies not a serious national political goal? 700B spent to keep bankers spending on $33K toilets that has legs?
