Liedership by the Panderer in Chief

[Petrovale]

STP, that's not a stunt. The entrepreneur in question is definitely not the only one voicing these concerns. Business will support the State when it, too, will take responsibility for generating real growth. Of late, the US, like many other Western countries, have a lousy record in this respect. "Reality", often, is not in the statistics you are referring to. The Polity and the Economy will have to create "Confidence" together. I think that's the essence of the political debate, not the statistics factory in Washington, D.C. The point being that there is no single politician or political combination capable of offering a generally acceptable solution, probably because their financial, industrial and popular constituents, if technocrats have any, are not understood. That's called an "Impasse", which is now evolving into a full blown "Crisis". A revolution is called for.
