The simple fact is that when an economy requires more than $5 of debt to provide $1 of economic growth – the engine of prosperity is broken.Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183141792723754273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-48768736395701512672013-09-20T04:52:14.196-07:002013-09-20T04:52:14.196-07:00William M:
