Austerity measures have they ever saved an economy?

What we need is a path that gets us here: and here:

If you have to ask "Why?" I don't think I would be able to explain it to you. But I'll give it a try anyway.The short version: Let's put industries and pollution in orbit, where God intended.The long-term version: Every time there was a frontier the best and brightest (as well as the misfits) headed that way, resulting in a better population in the new areas and a poorer one in the old areas. "The cowards never started -- and the weak died along the way." Look at it as a "frontier filter."The human race needs frontiers.

The barriers are not artificial, nor are they "created."It is nature's way of sorting things out: evolution in action.You may not like it--the dinosaurs probably didn't--but that doesn't change anything.
