I get what you&#x27;re saying, but this is exactly the sort of stuff that makes me think &quot;wow, this is never going to happen&quot;. You&#x27;re talking about in a very small span of time dismantling entire industries and a huge portion of both federal and state governments (shattering the value of billion-dollar companies, and temporarily putting millions of people out of their jobs) in order to implement an economic policy that has never been tested on a large scale in one of the world&#x27;s most complicated economies.<p>I really don&#x27;t see how a plan like that could ever work in a democracy. You&#x27;d make too many people mad. Even if it were to everybody&#x27;s long-term benefit the moment the layoffs started people would petition their state governments, who would drop out or refuse to comply with the plan, grinding the whole thing to a halt. The political will to do such a thing just isn&#x27;t possible IMHO.
