As long as the US can print money, fiscal deficit don't matter.

Why don't use free money to boost the economy and bargain for better trade deals.

Buy long term strategic advantage with nothing (dollars).

Many here are in business.

What do you do when you buy over a factory with unproductive workers that surf all day and spend all their time shopping on their phone?

I think those were the major points of the column...corporations are using "free money" not to invest, but for buybacks, and printing money if more bailouts are needed may or may not be possible.

Why invest when it's cheaper to import goods and services?
