Identifying a bad business model

Money is the life-blood of the economy. It must continue to circulate for the economy to survive. If you suffer from internal injuries, your own blood will flow out of the wounds and pool outside your vital organs, ultimately killing you. So goes the economy when money is hoarded by suppressing wages from raising with the rate of inflation. The gap between where wages are currently and where they should be is the wound.

The ten percent loss in sales on Black Friday should be proof enough.

Big Government

The apparent vicious cycle of government growth

The meaning is clear. Government has learned to grow itself by creating an ever expanding need for future government bureaucratic positions that can be dolled out for political favors. Creating a perpetual state of need by those who require social services as to guarantee against shrinkage or retraction.

Unfortunately, such behavior is yielding consequences such as are faced by the cities of Detroit, Michigan, Benton Harbor Michigan, and other cities facing bankruptcy.
