When Dow doubles

Dow will double before the end of this decade if most of the following materialize.

* End the two wars and not to start another one for any reason other than protecting our trade/interest. We cannot afford to be the world policeman fighting for our idealism. Let others fight for their own freedom.

* Sleep with China to avoid any trade war and take the risk of pulling out their trillion debts. No slaves would talk back to their master unless he does not know he is one.

* Buy more printers to print money. It would lead to super high inflation (so 30K can only buy 15K goods). In this case, Dow doubles but not in real purchasing power.

* Cut down entitlements and force those able, long-term welfare recipients to work on jobs taken by illegal aliens now.

* No more bailout.
No one including the government is too big to fail. Cut the government size to half.  It will be no reduction in service as most government workers work 20 hours a week. Sell Alaska with Sarah (not as a bonus) to Russia, sell Hawaii to Japan, file Chapter 11 for most states...:)

* Give incentives to businesses to invest here such as low tax rates, no ObamaCare, no complicated regulations/laws, low legal claims... We cannot compete if our wage is so high. We need to bring our living standard to how much we earn, and not to how much we can borrow.

They will not materialize as the politicians cannot buy votes with most measures and nobody wants to bite the bullet.
