Remember, remember the Harding Recession!

That was different.

Well actually he cut taxes AND reduced government spending and magically the US recovered from ww 1 hangover very quickly.

I believe this is some of why the US became a war economy after WWII...we didn't successfully end the Great Depression through the means prescribed by the banking industry which ultimately just filled the pockets of those at the top. US hasn't stopped warring since WWII...perhaps it is an element of our economy through 'defense' that cannot be replaced; perhaps WWII was the 'stimulus' package that had to be constantly kept going through massive defense spending, research, and resource acquisition/intimidation to gain strategic advantages globally? Our economy does demand unlimited growth, at what point is the breaking point? Is there one? Marx thought so but he was wrong about much.
