Are you honestly saying things were just swell from 1945-1980?
Why did we need the "War on Poverty" and the "Great Society" then? Why did we need to start Medicare? Why did Kennedy advocate for a massive income tax cut?
Were the Carter years good in your opinion?
Weird, you don't think an economy where ALL are improving is better than the past 33 years of Renominates where the VAST majority of benefits go to the 1%ers?
War on poverty and great society were GOOD PROGRAMS to assist the most needy, the opposite of Reaganomics!
All those things you list? BENEFITED a LARGE proportion of US society. Reaganomics? Not so much
LBJ had a demand side tax cut. Carter had 9+ million private sector jobs in 4 years to Reagan's 14 million in 8 and yes, Nixon/Fords wage and price controls harmed him, as did OPEC...
ALL you have are false premises, distortions and lies. I'm shocked
If things were so great we would not have needed those massive government programs. That things are worse today means those government programs haven't worked, unless you define success of a government program by the number of people on it.
But since you think Carter was a success and blame Nixon and Ford just shows your partisan bias.
You just don't get it. What does it mean when the figure is stated as a percentage of GDP? Does inflation affect that percentage?
Small government is what the US started with when the constitution was drafted and ratified.
You mean when they got rid of that 'states rights' Articles of Confederation for the STRONG FEDERAL CONSTITUTION?
WUT?
How much of the 5.5 million investment was a subsidy from
a) the State of Minnesota, __________________________%
b) from the federal government _____________________%
.
Got it, YOU can''t be honest
If Minnesota sold the rail road at the market price, then J.J. Hill didn't benefit from government subsidies. He paid cash for the value of any subsidies. If Minnesota sold for less than the market price, then no one is to blame other than the state of Minnesota. How does the fact that the government of Minnesota was stupid mean that Hill received a subsidy? People sell stuff at less than it's worth in the market all the time.
The military budget is a fraction of what it used to be.
A Century of Defense Spending
You graph shows that the defence budget is the smallest it has ever been since WW II.
Which became OK to you when the R after the Presidents name turned to a D and he did the same thing
Yeah, that's why the REAL critics of his admin are left leaning, instead of made up crap like birth certs, Ben-Gazzzzi, E/O's, IRS, etc... lol
You're right about the birthers. Why did Obama accuse himself of being born in Kenya? Wow, what a whack job.
OMG, that's funny. So you're going to take a measurement of a percent of GDP and extrapolate those and adjust it for inflation? First, that isn't what "extrapolation" means, second, how do you take a number adjusted for GDP and adjust it again for inflation? What does that even mean?
in 1940 a Coke cost .05... $20 then was worth a little over 1$
quit laughing and do the math... I even gave you the inflation factor.
to form an opinion or to make an estimate about something from known facts. ex·trap·o·lat·
Swish, completely over your head.

I guess we have a difference on what your 'The military budget is a fraction of what it used to be' means?

So a "real critic" is someone who believes he wasn't left-wing enough?

LOL, Dad didn't think that one through...

Humor. Try it
Small government is what the US started with when the constitution was drafted and ratified.
It is the only option we had at the time. We had a marginal economy and massive debt
Like now...
unless you define success of a government program by the number of people on it
That's exactly what they do. They have been crowing since Obama took over how he's dramatically increased food stamp rolls. They brag about the number of people getting government subsidies on Obamacare. Social security, medicare, medicaid, it's their goal. The more dependent on government checks, the more successful we are!

Actually, since Obama has cut the deficit Dubya left him by 60%+, stopped the jobs losses he inherited that was losing 700,000+ jobs a month, got US out of Iraq (combat forces), GOT BIN LADEN, Gave millions more access to H/C via Obamacares, Yeah, I'd say MOST right wing criticism of him and his admin is BULLSHIT!

LOL, Dad didn't think that one through...
you think it through and extrapolate the current figures adjusted for inflation ...
your factor is 16.7 or very close to it
have an expensive day.

You mean helping people out where the conservatives/libertarians say GO FUK YOURSELF instead? Horrible those Dems

Libertarians have valid platforms.
then they lose a screw or two and all is lost.
IMO
Any chance you could be more specific?
birthers ... 911 conspiracy hounds etc etc

I n 1940 the GDP was slightly over 1 Trillion $$ ... spending a smaller amount then = a larger % subtracted from total GDP
your spin still has nothing to do with the value of the dollar in todays market.
go buy me an F18 for $5,000.00

Market price? lol
False premises, distortions and lies, the ONLY tool conservatives have in their tool boxes today
Nah Hill and his gang didn't get ANY Gov't help by buying off state legislators, capturing the regulators with bribes or buying on the cheap BK SUBSIDIZED rail systems!
