... "Our economy isn't growing fast enough!"  - Our "economists".

*   Sustained economic growth is impossible because it is tied to
*   physical consumption (wealth).  Why impossible??  5% annual growth 
*   in the consumption of 2 grams any substance will become a "hole" 
*   with a mass of 800 trillion planet earths in only 2,000 years.
*   Thus long term economic growth is impossible.  This is but one 
*   of many fallacies in ALL orthodox economic foundations. - G. Hardin
