Theory on Localization - The latter Proposal

Ok, we all know that the economic splurge of the mid 2000s was washed away by various market corrections, most notably the housing sector.

Say you have a localized economy. One in which a community maximizes their communicative entities to diminish stock market returns. Here's the theory.

Say you need a wrench. You have two options. One, you can go to Wal-Mart, a master in the economies of scale and a driver of fresh production.

Option 2 is that you can go door to door, ask a neighbor if they have a wrench that you can borrow, pay whatever fees they require and probably save a lot of money.

Today, America is split between two solutions. To go with the former option, one is to help the stock market, transfer real funds to investors and actually place additional macroeconomic debt on the nation (that is because most Americans need debt to survive if they are going to continue shopping at Wal-Mart and supporting the capitalist market).

The latter proposes a very possible solution to every day people who are already in debt. Yet, Wal-Mart has still managed to create a market that instills an illusion of saving, an illusion that devises conservative nationalistic and pro-War principles. Meanwhile, local stores are struggling and Obama is trying to balance the budget...yada yada yada.

The latter proposal is necessary for this nation to survive. No longer are average Americans asked to save for the additional Wal-Mart purchase, but they are asked everyday to meet their financial obligations. The latter is what allows Americans to save. If this country has any bright future, it does not come from allocating the average American salary to stock holders. It comes from saving.

What's ironic about my blog post is that 80% of Craftsman Tools are actually produced in the United States. This is meant to engage the reader into questioning their buying habits. Where is your money going?
