He can't be right, since there are lots of other goals that can be realized without faster growth (by which he means faster and positive growth of real GDP). The health care system could be reformed without a rise in real GDP, though it would be easier during a time of GDP-prosperity. Perhaps he means other _economic_ goals, in which case what he says is more reasonable (within the confines of normal capitalist politics). -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
