Simply put: you can't save your way to prosperity. You have to invest your way to prosperity.
In one's personal life, Saving and Investing are keys to prosperity. The way you use the word "Invest", is code for Spending. They have changed the word from Spending to Investing. The government is the King of wasteful spending.
As with everything , it is all or nothing..They believe they will spend their way out of this mess..You can call it Investing, but it is spending.And the King of waste, Our government, will waste it away.
An example is California, the way the country is going, but on a smaller scale..They approve your "Investing" on a Bullet train..It will triple in costs, and not be finished.At a time when the state has 17 billion in the hole, and they continue to approve programs that are not funded. Also they pass a budget hoping for the upcoming vote on tax Increases..
Again we can agree to disagree. I won't ever agree with you, and you won't agree with me. I am cool with that.
But this thread is to give Information for the readers of the thread, so I thank you for your views.
Let the Individual Reader decide. That what this thread is about..Not you convincing me, or me convincing you.That for sure will never happen.
We can take the small pill now, or the large pill later..
