Capitalism is a dead system. Since the Great Depression, it has been propped up by Government spending. WW II put half the workers in the service, the other half in war production. The whole idea of balancing the budget, reducing debt, and getting the government off the backs of business is as utopian as it is foolish. Capitalists, the biggest recipients of government welfare, are not the slightest interested in Laissez-faire capitalism.
Major corporations benefit from government-funded research and product development free of charge.
Military spending has provided them a steady market for years. The only time capitalists promote laissez-faire capitalism is when they are trying to take away social programs. They are only interested in eliminating the pittance that goes to their worker victims so they can keep more of the wealth they have robbed from us. We are at the end of a system. Any major attempt to reduce debt and get the government out of pump priming the capitalist engine will lead to a depression that will make 1929 look prosperous.
