Please consider the following change that speeds up the remaining GE calculation by more than a factor of 2x.

Neither the government budget nor accidental bequests behave like GE prices as there are no GE prices they balance against. Instead, use AggVar calculations to compute them.

The error check at the end indicates that the concept of capital gains in this particular model is not correct. Likely the problem is that neither the stationary distribution nor the GE have a well-founded concept of who bought and sold stock at what price when in order to make such a calculation. Age is not time. I don't know how to fix this, but perhaps you might.

Since G is no longer part of Params, we calculate it expressly.  Use that calculation in the final report (if we ever get there).
