inject the economy with discretionary monies and those businesses
benefit.
But, I submit that the former is complete bunk with no
mathematical reality, and the latter has limitations because it is
actually part of the bigger Ripple Effect economic cycle. There is a
phenomenon in math called the bell curve. The bell curve is a
naturally occurring pattern of peaks and valleys. You cannot create a
bell curve, nor can you respond to it by trying to alter it. If you are
in a valley, artificial stimulation screws the natural process and you
end up flat-lining the economy. That has been the economic status
of our Country since 2009-2010. The result of trying to artificially fix
the economy was an amassed debt and a hyper-elevated annual
budget deficit. The other naturally occurring event, also in math, is
simple algebra – you must add the same to one side of the equation
as you subtract from the other. To add to one without subtracting
from the other will sink the economy to the point that you cannot
balance the equation (economic scales). This is common double-
entry accounting – any debit must be offset by a credit, and vice
versa. Again, that is where our Country has been since 2009-2010
and actually much longer, feeding the recoverable economy of 2007-
2008 when unfathomable debt and hyper-elevated annual budget
deficits became the norm. Socialists firmly believe that neither the
bell curve or equation scales exist. What really runs the economy,
and how is it fixed? The Ripple Effect – a cycle of concentric
influences growing from each other. If you throw one stone in a
pond, it will send ripples outward until they hit an obstacle or shore,
or just dissipate. If you skip a stone across the pond, you create
