Not stopping the insane spending and deficits also hurst the economy. Death by 1,000 paper cuts.
Our measure of the output of the economy is GDP. It used to be called GNP. If the gubment is NOT a producer, how can a lack of "output" as measured by the gubment show negative growth.
Our GDP is 1.2 trillion per month. Please tell me what number of that comes from production by the Federal gubment.
(our GDP per capita is falling because the work force is growing around 2% per annum.)
