Government Programs (Economics)

This article lays out in logical, fiscal terms why the current economic mentality is costing more and gaining less for the U.S. economy overall.

Adding my own edge to it, this is an extension of the short-term, profit-focused thinking that has changed the economy from a robust producer to a shaky consumer.
