The Economy Does Much Better Under Democrats. Why? (NYT)

That spending is out of control on the chart you showed. Imagine if a family earning $50k per year ran up credit cards to spend $7,500 (15%) extra income per year.

It is not sustainable.

I suspect the world will go back on a gold standard since that's what we had before this broken monetary system existed. It did a great job of keeping government spending under control and preventing inflation.

It would have to be fractional which defeats the purpose.

The Economy Does Much Better Under Democrats. Why?

It wasn't my question however. I agree with you re a main reason. There are other fundamental reasons as well. That "WHY" was part of the NYT Headline.
