if you're liberal with spending, you tend to go broke
at the institutional level, there is the fed that can offset moronic spending with various measures
so, a political stance/discussion tends to be ungrounded here
as it often fails to capture the complex economic realities
I deny that economics is a science
@Deleted User Taxes on the top brackets should be raised to 90% and tarrifs should be raised
Make embezzlement punishable by death
Huge funding into public works programs
Reduce unemployment to 0%
Abolish all private banks
Central public bank
Economics is a philosophy not a science

brb, will speak more detail on your comments soon
Taxes are a bad thing
Wat
My ideal government is one that makes more money than it needs
And there would be no taxes
That’s not how that works.
We would make how it works
The government should a mix for for-profit and public endeavors
Governments are common investment funds for improvement of our condition.
Your plan would be like trying to make a profitable Home Owners Association.
It would just end badly.
I doubt it would
But yes that’s the kind of stuff I want
What would the government profit off of for one?
As much as they can
It would be easy on the local level
Be specific.
Have police do individual security for money
We have those.
They’re called security companies.
Public transits
Have a public one
We already make people pay for public transit. It would be very difficult to get any more out of it than we already do.
The attraction of public transit is that it is *cheap*
And the whole point of a public police force and fire department is that you don’t have to fork over 50 bucks before your burning house gets doused or your wifebeating neighbor gets arrested. @Joe The Communist
You pay in advanced with taxes so you don’t have to worry later. More or less public insurance.
