Mark Twain said it best...

“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

America needs the opposite of a New Deal. It needs an explosion of "responsible resource development including fossil fuels and massive investments in productivity".

Standards of living are tied directly to productivity and economic growth. Individual standards of living are tied to labor shortages.

Develp our resources to drive down the cost of inputs. Secure our borders, while encouraging domestic investment to grow the economy and produce goods more efficiently while triggering labor shortages and both GDP and standards of living will rise.

America is one of the most blessed countries in the world with regard to resources and skilled labor. All we need is an economic policy that does not try to "manage" our economy but rather supports private sector growth.
