Oh, shut up!!! I have gone to a lot of trouble to do posts that are informative when one of you bagheads ask me a question, as you have just done. And then 2 things happen.
Either everybody disappears and nobody even comments. Or they SAY they read it, but you can tell by their response that they did not. So they tell me everything I have said is wrong and then I get called names. But either way I wasted my time even answering. I'm so done with that.
And I would like to point out that you NEVER respond when somebody asks you a question. So you know what you can do.
You weren't called any names. You were just asked 2 questions.
If you think you are wasting your time posting, then why post? No one is forcing you to enter into the debate.
I do have to question why you think we need to get away from the policies of the 1920s. It just doesn't make sense.
The Depression of 1920 was an incredibly short depression after the Government cut taxes by 66% and cut spending by %50. We had one of the greatest economic explosions in history.
The Depression of 1929 had the Progressive Republican Hoover, and FDR passing all kinds of government programs and lasted 12 years.
So why on earth are we following the progressive policies that prolonged the depression, rather than the tax/spending reduction policies that had us out of a deeper depression very quickly?
Bravo! Some still refuse to learn from history. (And more importantly? MOST in our society have been deprived of it and sadly, it rears it's ugly head).
