“All that good government can do to improve the material well-being of the people is to establish and to preserve an institutional order in which there are no obstacles to the progressing accumulation of new capital required for the improvement of technological methods of production. This is what capitalism did achieve in the past and will achieve in the future too if not sabotaged by a bad policy.”
Ludwig von Mises, 1950.

notice that government acquires no capital but merely protects the conditions under which incentive alignment can happen freely.

yes, except that the business people aren't us. they are the corpo billionaires who take on the job of reforming USA Inc because they stand to get even richer. this isn't a virtuous cycle. the people have to find their own way through this, which is becoming self-sovereign, while hoping that the system collapses. i don't think that will happen, though. our hope must be elsewhere and eternal because these temporal hopes fail us.
the house point is a big one. if you are spending to improve your quality of life, man that is worth every sat.
we'll see how it goes this year.
I just finished Job earlier this week. he actually believed he was blameless through most of the trial. Elihu reminds him that he lacks humility. that is the Spirit speaking through Elihu, so in a sense Jon does have the Spirit of God with him. and then in the end God speaks directly to him, requiring him to forgive his friends before he can be restored.
Hopefully the people will find in themselves the same humility and bow before God in Christ. it is the only remedy.
sorry. it's bedtime in Texas.
gn nostrs.
i don't know what buttcoiners are.
no one knows who he was. there was a reason i picked this nym.
are you sarcasm?
the people who run US Inc want it to stay solvent. they needed business people to go in and clean it up so it can run another 500 years. the politicians weren't able to deliver.
