I agree and there is little reason to dispute what you've written. At the same time, there is a building demand for many improvements needed today and tomorrow. These can be put off but eventually they need to be addressed. Many older businesses aren't running as well as they could be because they are often being run "like always" versus being run by those looking to improve on the current model. New, small business must take advantage of this mistake. I'm not sure we need a massive incentive system but we do need the banks to loan money to startups at a greater rate than they do today. As to people not working, there are many reasons why we're in this situation but one of the largest reasons is that bean counters and belt tightening is the current approach to many businesses and aspects of government. There's a huge difference between running a tight ship and cutting off part of the business simply because it's not as profitable as other sections. When Wall St. metrics are applied to many companies, they lose their edge and focus their attentions in cutting areas that will do more harm down the road than a bean counter can envision. When pure business aspects are applied to government and oversight, similar harm is done by failing to provide the proper services and functions the society requires. I suppose I think the economic environment is much more fertile than many believe. I don't think we're that far away from being in a situation where purse strings are much more relaxed from the panic grip of the past few years.
