Excess and waste are the engine that fuels Capitalism.
Efficiency of production function and finished goods will create a scarce economy.
Imagine if all the (lazy, ignorant) Baby Boomers were forced to go into retirement because thier progeny could do thier job 100x more effectively. Imagine if the younger generation decided to stop voting for the wasteful bureaucrats that just want to appeal to thier completely irresponsible, high consumption generation. Joe 60-year feels that as long as everyone buys American our economy can servive regardless how efficient the vehicles are or how expensive they are. As a nation with high entitlement do we desire to unneccessarily become in debt to each other?
We should emphasize competition and utility, this is what free market is, this is what America should be.
As a rule of thumb, anything that costs you less will save the environment more.
