You and Brainy and the "I wouldn't put it past them" -- how bout some facts to enlighten the masses rather than RANK speculation??
LOL Good point Nanky. They rarely respond to factual items by US but yet they speculate nonsense 24/7. It's why I took a week long break from this thread.
Oops. Bring 'em on. I didn't realize I was avoiding "factual items".
Here's one I didn't see a response to:
You try and claim that FDR had to spend money to get the economy rolling. That's pure 100% unadulterated crap! WWII got us out of the Great Depression. If anything FDR extended the depression by at least six to seven years with his spending! Don't believe me?
Riffy
Please explain to me how WWII got us out. What exactly was the benefit of WWII?
Wasn't it massive government spending? What did we get for that massive spending, we got thousands of jobs.
I'm all for letting industry create jobs, but that's not happening now.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to respond to. LJ had a link to an article about how we'll have trillion dollar deficit for years to come. A decade maybe? I'm so happy Milhouse got elected. This asshole is worse that W 7 fucking days a week. Look! he's even got me angry again! [/quote]
I was just wondering if anyone had a different view of how WWII got us out of the depression. I say massive spending worked then, and I haven't heard any economists opine a better idea.
Sure, our deficit is going to be huge. But if the country benefits, so what. We'll pay it back down eventually.
Nixon started the HMO debacle, according to released White House tapes. What I heard wasn't pretty.
The f-ing hippies were right!
