So
what do we do about the current runaway deficits that feel so dangerous? Good question, and here's your
answer: leave them alone for now. Wait until we're out of our current unemployment and growth crisis and the economy is
booming again (or something close to it) before gradually withdrawing gov't support. There's not much disadvantage to doing this, because right now the government can borrow at about 0 percent interest on a ten year bond (not including inflation--and, yes, when the world economy picks up again, it'll become much more expensive to borrow. That's fine, because that's exactly when we should stop borrowing :) ).
Cave Bear, once an unfrozen living god linked to the mysterious 2008 mauling and subsequent toxic waste-dump death of 'philosopher' Jacques Bearrida, now investigates human modes of understanding the world, including myth, narrative and literature. He currently resides in a wireless-equipped cave at an undisclosed location in New York City, while his ancient enemy, Sigurd the Bearbreaker, will never, ever find him.
