Well you guys are right, if you think war is a great way to stimulate the economy. Just ignore all the dead people, bomb craters, and destroyed businesses, and the fact that they don't always end the way you want them to.

The government uses coercion. It is not very compatible with innovation.

Free trade, or whips, guns and chains. You pick.

[QUOTE]prosperity comes from the private sector, not the public sector... [/QUOTE]?

My father, along with 2 million World War II veterans, went college, or received other secondary education, on the G.I.Bill.

Prosperous? I would say so - a first generation Italian-American... college, law school, Morris County, N.J. assistant prosecutor, and then into his own private practice. A prosperity made possible from a big, big bad government program.

That being the same big bad government program that returned in revenues to the economy almost $7.00 for every one dollar spent.

This crop of republicans are enthusiastically selling stupidity.
And these are definitely not my father's republicans.
They want you to believe they “spent” too much -- they didn't "spend"
- they just "bled" us to death.

the end.


(note: also, millions of returning World War II soldiers used the G.I. Bill to purchase their first homes and much more.. and that’s not even looking at what sprang from Federal R&D funding)

All REP. should be thrown out of the country. they and their party put America in this most disgraceful part of our history.
but it is still a democracy and the only true Democracy will have more parties to contest the fallacy of a two party system.
