"If no one buys even one widget, there was no demand." Then you will fire all your widget makers, and there will be no jobs. In the meantime, you're paying to store a million widgets, which might end up costing you your position in the 1%. You can always try doubling the demand by cutting the price in half, but 2X0 still=0. Give them away, and terminate the lease on your warehouses.

This is one of the most stunningly stupid things I have seen in a long time. Demand is very much part of the equation. Unless you sell, and sell enough of, said widgets, not only do all of those jobs go away, the resulting bankruptcy puts a strain on the economy. Have enough of those bankruptcies and you have a bubble popping. This is not merely theoretical, it has happened and recently, too. You have a really bad habit of looking at one aspect of a complex problem and pronouncing it as the only thing that matters. Given that it usually winds up supporting your ideology by focusing on that one aspect, I am inclined to believe that it is purely partisanship on your part and thus impervious to facts and/or reality.
