AI economics for the US masses

Everytime you spend you can save and everything you save can be saved and all that is saved can work for what you want it to.

To make a world where you spend and save at the same time is hard for mr adverage to do but not even noticable with a click of a button.

To make your money thats invested through saving follow your interests is a hard thing for mr adverage to do. Even talking about such a prospect to your bankmanager is laughable. With a small chat to an AI chat bot each month for 10 minutes money could be collectivly gowing to far more of the things which matter to all.

Also AI investment systems can invest collectivly for adverage people and give them returns all with but a few clicks and a monthly chat/personal update.

I ask this question though is AI being keeped back for the millionares to enjoy more than it should be.

Limo Liberal

Its real easy to mince no words when not running for election. He may be a pompous rhodes scholar but he still preaches 1930's economics as if it was relevant to today's world. My God what does raising taxes have to do with people saving more. Galbraith has passed on, so has his economics.

RE: Limo Liberal

....And I'm sure that borrowing money a la the Reagan and Bush (W) administrations makes more sense? Both of those administrations registered record setting debt by borrowing long-term to finance current expenditures. [Why do you think there are no more 20-yr Treasuries?]

Tax cuts are a stop-gap to spur growth....not a god-given right. Money has to come from somewhere so long as government is not a legitimate revenue-producing entity. The Lauffer curve is a Chicago School myth that has ruined the common sense of a generation...trickle-down economics will not trickle down to you.

Also, if you had ever read Galbraith (Knight, Keynes or any others) you would know that the effects of the demise of industry in favor of a "service economy" were something that he (Galbraith) predicted (with uncanny accuracy) over 40 years ago. We're in an industry (IT) where 50 years ago we led the world in R&D, production, sales and support. Now we have to struggle to keep up and outsource the most basic of functions. The real cost of outsourcing isn't the cash saved on the service but the externalizing of the revenue stream.

Policies are based in philosophy. Philosophies have become based in myth. Get a clue.
