people don't understand we're way past soviet russia era levels of gov spending and involvement in our economy, and the brilliant minds who came up with gdp also included government spending into that formula. so here's what we got from current war-time levels of spending. 2-3% gdp...that's it. now, if you actually cut spending that would actually make a difference, a dent in our deficits. you will absolutely induce a severe economic downturn, it's the catch-22 a fiat system that's in the debt spiral phase is in. we need austerity, but that's politcal suicide. tell granny she needs her paltry social security check it needs to be cut, tell shaqueefa that her ebt needs to be reduced.
