What Spurs Economic Growth?

This is not our first time at the rodeo. The keys to economic growth are not strange, bizarre, confusing or complicated. It’s very well know what spurs economic growth. Volumes and volumes have been written on it, thousands of economists agree, (Paul Krugman excepted, of course) that the fastest way to grow the economy is to cut out, as much as possible, governments involvement in it, from reducing taxes, to reducing regulation, to cutting spending. Less government involvement, and ultimately, less government, will rapidly fuel a new economic boom. It’s been proven over and over again. So if it’s proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, then why is Barack “All options are on the table” Obama not doing it? Simple. He simply cannot conceive of government being anything but a force of good. It’s a conceptual issue that he cannot get over. So smaller government is out of the question. My prediction: the economy will not and cannot get better unless he is out of office.
