(Almost) more economic solutions than we can imagine?

Proposed:
Very few of us will do the right thing, economically, unless we have to do it.
Doing the right thing because we have to do it still can be a positive experience.
Both Republicans (situationally) and Democrats (legislatively) believe in forcing people to do the right thing.
Republicans and Democrats take turns being right — and catastrophically wrong.
Maybe there are few definitive solutions at all.
Maybe there are more solutions than we can imagine.
Maybe most of us are getting poorer.
Maybe that doesn’t matter as much as we think it does.
Maybe we can’t make money doing the things that we love.
Maybe that will break our hearts.
Or maybe that will force us to discover how to love what we do, instead.
Maybe we’ll do everything right and still fail.
Maybe we’ll make one mistake after another and turn out just fine.

A lovely list of propositions–quite poetically, even movingly, proposed.
I thought of one more:
Maybe everything is bigger on the inside than on the outside.

Thank you for kind words, Mr. Budd. As always, I love your comments!
@ Dennis: I thought you might be an easy vote to buy. Hadn’t even thought of the Doghouse of Justice, which truly is amazing! Can you figure out some ways to bail out the economy in there? How about FREE COOKIES AND BEER FOR ALL!!!
