Far and away the Liberals Biggest Disconnect has to be their confusion over the difference between the Federal government and the US economy. They either belief the 2 are the same thing or that the Federal government is far more important that the US economy.
It's such a huge disconnect, it's hard to grasp that people can be merrily off in the trillions column when and either not notice or just not care.
To review: at about $18 Trillion annually, the US economy is the worlds first or second largest (China caught up thanks to Obama). It represents the combined economic activity of every American individual and company
Clocking in at a mind boggling $4 Trillion in current annual spending, the federal government is about 22% the size of the US economy and is totally dependent on the health and vitality of the far larger US economy.
We have to ask , What are Progressives trying to accomplish when they repeat the Marxist talking points about "Paying Fair share" and "90% tax rate"? Does that help the US economy? How?
It seems as if their mind cannot comprehend anything greater than the federal government.
When you're dealing with Progs, bear in mind that they will seamlessly interchange the economy and the government as if they were the same thing. It's weird, but it's what they do
