  I agree. The question is: how do you fix it? In the case of the big corporations, for example, I see no direct, freedom-compatible way of getting them to spend that money.

Then the question becomes where that demand should come from, and the most feasible short-term answer (the government) is almost universally ideologically opposed (yes, even Democrats these days seem to shy away from direct spending to stimulate the economy).
