The US economy currently has issues a hell of a lot larger than ideological economic viewpoints.oh you mean like cuba and venezuela, that is what you think the US economy should be like?
Cuba has some great ideas. There are international politics at play that force some of their growth to be a very hard uphill battle... but lets not forget that one of the goals and motivations of a good economic system is social wellbeing. What's the point of having a few big companies when people are suffering?? What the point of placing people in slavery for the profits of 1%? What's the point of the economy not benefiting people close to equally for all levels of society??? What's the reason that the healthcare and education systems of some of the nations are murking the US????? with lower resources and less capitalist slavery???
Even the banks that survived the great depression are now failing or being kept alive by the taxes and slave labor of the American pawns and workforce.... AKA capitalism. The US dollar value has been cut in half the last 6 or so years but the wealthiest Americans have increased wealth by a gross and disgusting amount in that time ... aka capitalism. The illusion of debt and Americans being able to maintain a consumerism materialistic climate that is pushed as the only way we can survive is now imploding - credit card debt, American debt, housing market... aka capitalism. Wars are being maintained and international politics are being funded and increasing the pockets of defense industry, lobbyist, and reverting back to that 1% at the expensive of education, social welfare, services, and the American dream. aka capitalism. Soon the scam is going to be exposed by nations that have systems sparked by socialist revolutions (like China) and the nightmare that black already experience, will be felt by all Americans at a level that we aren't prepared to fully deal with. LOL@ us thinking that that lil recession we just had has been fixed.
Every system is going to have the identify and culture of that nation... along with the political landscape (regardless if retards deny this!!!) - all influencing how that ideological system is ran... so that's the reason for hybrid solutions and the failure of some systems that are actually good ideas.
