Deficits will rise to a long-term level at which they will cease to be sustainable, and unemployment will stay high for many years. Our country is on pace to follow Japan down a path of aging and debt-ridden decay, and there seem to be few good solutions on the horizon. The conventional wisdom says that after years of spending without any awareness of our limits, we must now enter an extended period...
