| Message | Government spending is always less efficient than the market, thats a simple economic principle. lowering spending and taxation would improve GDP, not harm it. |

| Message | One quick point: On July 2610 the GDP was at 637,419,389,534 LOD. Is that higher or lower? Should we give you the spending and consumption numbers as well so you understand that you have harmed the economy? And please, don't argue something that has no factual evidence to be supported with. Both theories of more government spending or less government spending are simply that, theories. we can go on and explain why higher government spending helps the GDP but you are not going to listen anyways. |
