Don't worry, I'll tell you if you are right.

These are facts that are freely available.
And if you use search engines you can even find someone who's added things up already.



Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.


Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.


Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.


Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.


Rules for Radicals

This is what got us out of the mini depression. Mini because of less government spending and meddling.

Federal spending
1920 $6.3 billion
1921 $5 billion
1922 $3.2 billion

Federal taxes
1920 $6.6 billion
1921 $5.5 billion
1922 $4 billion

yea why do something that works.

The New Deal worked for FRD. He had to die to lose the presidency. This fact is not lost on today's politicians.

All I've asked, repeatedly, is that you display some knowledge that leads you to your remarks.

You can't do that.

If you do that, or admit you know nothing, I'll answer your question.

LMAO I have to prove myself to a know nothing like you? If you want knowledge, look at the comments in my previous posts for a start and try to refute them. Or read a book about economics. You've shown no substance. The Sheeple chant fits you perfectly, "Yes We Can!"

You haven't yet, through all your meaningless posts in this thread, shown any understanding of the deficit.

Don't bother replying until you understand something about the topic.
I will waste no further time on you.

For reference, here is my first post directed to you:

I would be shocked if you could explain our current deficit.
Shocked.

You would be the first to do so, of the folks who repeat the "spending" talking point.
You appear to have no knowledge of the deficit.
Come back when you do.

Thank you for not wasting your time on this subject anymore. Uninformed people should not speak of things they know little about.
If I wanted to learn how to win the World Series I wouldn't take advice from the Chicago Cubs. I'd go with something that has proven it works.
