Everyone forgets Goddard. He invented what the German scientists perfected after a lot of government investments. The US didn't want to go that way with Rocketry, until the world saw the Germans make it work.

The US set Goddard to work on Jet assisted take off in WWII.

Allowing the Fed to artificially keep interest rates down for 15 years is not "Capitalism sucks". Its pure, unadulterated asset inflation purposely done. ZIRP policies were a choice made that have gotten us to where we are with asset prices.

3% mortgages did this. If mortgages were kept around historical averages of 7 percent, the asset inflation wouldn't have occurred. The monthly costs at 7 percent currently are unaffordable except for the top 20%.

This is the Fed's fault.

There should have never been less than 3 percent mortgages. They basically gave away free home equity to an entire generation. And you know what they did? Bought 2nd homes and allowed VRBO/AirB&B to thrive. Now with "normal" interest rates, none of this makes any sense.

Wait, so you are saying that government cannot balance the two? There has been no successful balancing of capitalist and socialist principles in any country in our existence?

General strikes that do real economic damage would work. They would round up the leaders and prosecute them as terrorist each time.
