How's this for REAL change?

Reducing government spending from 24% of GDP to 16% of GDP would cause a HUGE increase in economic growth. Cutting government spending and slashing taxes is just what the economy needs right now to kickstart investment and economic growth.

Is he crazy!?

Clearly the way to fix our huge debt is by increasing spending on worthless programs!! I mean isnt that obvious to fix being in debt up to our eyeballs we need to spend MORE!?

The funny thing is that Keynesian economists were warning that in the aftermath of WWII, the economy would suffer a terrible depression if the government cut spending too much. What ended up happening? The government slashed taxes, cut spending by a whopping 30%, and reduced economic controls/regulations, and the economy BOOMED! 1946 was one of the most prosperous years for the private economy ever!

Yeah, well Ive come to realize that facts dont really bother most politicians.
Ideology is what fixes things, not what actually works.
