20 July

The figures over the past 100+ years. World Wars 1 & 2 were major international emergencies, like our pandemic, and governments spent HUGE amounts of money. And what followed that huge spending/debt? The 'Roaring Twenties', and the 'Post-War Boom'. Decades of phenomenal prosperity. That red line is the level of our current emergency Covid spending. We're told we can't afford to lock down. Our economic ideas are our biggest enemy.
