I assume what is meant by consumption is consumer driven demand creating wealth. On an individual level, planting a garden and canning the surplus can create wealth. And again, it can allow for resources to be allocated in other ways improving an individual's standard of living. Multiply that by the people in a community and you can get larger macro-economic results. The yield from a garden can be a function of rain and not a function of labor or capital.

This will likely include stabilizing the lower and middle classes. I think this is the point established in the OP.

My point is and has been to free those who have the ability to create real wealth and let them do it. Government rarely has the ability to create real wealth directly, governments tend to re-distribute wealth once beyond government doing what it is most efficient at doing..

When do you tell us what you believe? Or, as Nietzsche might say, your religion is one that says that the strong are strong only at the expense of the weak.
Note: I am not saying I am Nietzsche.
