Why would you sell your company for what it is worth now? Why not just keep it and the money it generates?

That's why.

Flux happens.

Why do you think borrowed money is "cheap"?

We're not paying it back. Any of it. At best we can cover the interest payments.

Why do you think this won't blow up in our faces?

Interest has not become a huge issue, but in any case - so what? They got the money for cheap, it has (presumably) fueled growth. Beating 1.5% over five years is not difficult - the idea is to borrow money to accelerate growth - increase prosperity of America, which would return more than 1.5%. Not all debt is bad.

This requires allowing the government to consider tax income as a revenue stream, which isn't playing well politically right now. We're supposed to think of taxes as money the government had no right to collect in the first place, and which the only right thing for it to do with is give it back.

Having a free floating fx sovereign currency issuing regime such as the US,UK,Japan. The federal debt is equal to the private sector savings. Paying of the debt eliminates our savings. This would throw us into great depression ii. We should have perpetual deficits.

Why couldn't they just raise taxes?

Because the one thing almost every economist agrees on is raising taxes in a bad economy makes it worse.

I stopped caring about the environment, when I saw that being an environmentalist meant stopping any and all human development.

When environmentalists get together and start building power plants and oil wells, then I'll know they're serious about saving the environment.

Wait, what? Why would environmentalists build oil wells? That's precisely the opposite of caring about the environment. Unchecked human development is recklessly irresponsible. But growth and development aren't necessarily evil - far from it. Understanding the ENTIRE impact of ones actions, rather than just the portion that affect you, is (imo) the most important tenet of protecting the world we live in. From that perspective, you can make intelligent decisions and grow, but not at the expense of everyone around you.

Umm, plenty of environmentalists do build power plants, solar wind etc. However, I can't see any way that drilling for oil is 'good' for the environment.
