Then look at the chart. And you will note that spending decreased, NOT BY CAPITA, NOT AS A PERCENT OF GDP, but simply decreased. Not even in inflation adjusted numbers. You could, of course, read the title of the chart. Or read the vertical axis label. And wonder how each person in the population spent TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
So, I will be waiting with baited breath for your apology. Really, me poor ignorant clown, you should stop calling people liars. Makes you look like what you are.

A poster who cannot believe their own sources is clearly delusional, so I think we should stick a fork in it and declare this discussion with e-flat done. Besides, it's unsporting to engage in intellectual combat with an unarmed opponent.
Government Creates Poverty
5/1/11 John Stossel is host of “Stossel” on the Fox Business Network.
The U.S. government has “helped” no group more than it has “helped” the American Indians. It stuns me when President Obama appears before Indian groups and says things like, “Few have been ignored by Washington for as long as Native Americans.”
Ignored? Are you kidding me? They should be so lucky. The government has made most Indian tribes wards of the state. Government manages their land, provides their health care, and pays for housing and child care. Twenty different departments and agencies have special “native American” programs. The result? Indians have the highest poverty rate, nearly 25 percent, and the lowest life expectancy of any group in America. Sixty-six percent are born to single mothers.
Nevertheless, Indian activists want more government “help.”
It is intuitive to assume that, when people struggle, government “help” is the answer. The opposite is true. American groups who are helped the most, do the worst.
Consider the Lumbees of Robeson County — a tribe not recognized as sovereign by the government and therefore ineligible for most of the “help” given other tribes. The Lumbees do much better than those recognized tribes.
Lumbees own their homes and succeed in business. They include real estate developer Jim Thomas, who used to own the Sacramento Kings, and Jack Lowery, who helped start the Cracker Barrel Restaurants. Lumbees started the first Indian-owned bank, which now has 12 branches.
The Lumbees’ wealth is not from casino money.
“We don’t have any casinos. We have 12 banks,” says Ben Chavis, another successful Lumbee businessman. He also points out that Robeson County looks different from most Indian reservations.
Freedom lets them prosper.

Progressive liberals? So that means that reactionary liberals don't hate John Stossell? How is it that you right wingers know so much about lefties? Let me guess.....Ann coulter? Rush limbaugh?
Just happened by this thread. You should need an IQ of at least 90 to post. Should be illegal to do so without some small amount of brain activity. So I was pleased to see that ed and jihad post together. Between the two, they probably just pass the 90 iq requirement. In aggregate.
Relative to the thread question? They don't. Progressives don't bother to hate entertainers. Only cons take entertainers seriously.
Now, lets be clear, eflat. I used your source. As in CLICKED ON YOUR LINK. And the following graph appeared on the page to which I was directed:

Now, try to pay attention to what I said:

Another lie.
Spending PER CAPITA is not the same thing as "spending". We spent more this year than we did last, as my link to the government's own website proved.
Then look at the chart. And you will note that spending decreased, NOT BY CAPITA, NOT AS A PERCENT OF GDP, but simply decreased. Not even in inflation adjusted numbers. You could, of course, read the title of the chart. Or read the vertical axis label. And wonder how each person in the population spent TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

The current fiscal year ends in six days. We spent more this year than last, a lot more, and we're expecting to spend even more the following year.
Now tell us that there's no where to cut. Defend Pelosi's outrageous statement.
Why do progressive liberals hate John Stossel?
Because he got bitch-slapped by a fake, pro-wrestling badboy.
But, but that was back in the 80's, Sorry about that, I forgot the typical liberal response...
What he was not is an economist. Just has a ba degree in psychology. So, not sure why anyone would care what his thoughts are relative to economic issues.Because he got bitch-slapped by a fake, pro-wrestling badboy.
But, but that was back in the 80's, Sorry about that, I forgot the typical liberal response...
I'm not interested in reading three pages on this but I can remember him on one of the investigative news programs like 60 Minutes, 20/20, etc. Stossel used to be a human being. He also used to be a journalist.
Now, he's just part of the background noise from the radical right. I doubt anyone "hates" him because its unlikely very many people even think about him now.
