The National Debt Clock

Please explain how the sectors are "so" intertwined, and how they cannot be unwoven.

The Govenrment relies on taxes fron the public sector to operate & implement vital infrastructure. The income from these taxes is, in turn, is used to purchase services from the private sector, which, in turn, turns a profit and pays taxes. An around it goes.

The public sector also regulates the private sector, allowing it to fuction smoothly, honestly & reliably.

They also rely on each other for resources. Either being knowledge, labour or materials.

The two sectors cannot fuction properly, within this system, without one other.

The government bailed out the banks to protect the economy.

What do you think would have happened if the Governments didn't bail out the banks.

I never said a company needs growth forever; that would be absurd.

So please explain how the growth would/will stop. If you take a look at any historical charts, they show growth over the long term, if the growth stagnates or stops, the company usually reclines or dies. I find it hard to beleive that it is possible for a company to reach a 'steady state'. As the expectations of greater returns grow, the company is forced to expand to keep its investors happy.
