Didn't slavery make a strong economy for the south? Your arguments are terrible.

You're free to spread your misery elsewhere if you wish Tom Collins. I am not forcing you to respond here and listen to my "terrible" arguments. If you are not going to speak civily to me, I will ask you to not speak to me at all.

Would you oppose FDR's new deal of the early 30's?

If I could travel back in time and kill any single person, it would without a doubt be FDR. That evil [censored] did incalculable damage to this country.

"didn't the new deal bring America out of a terrible depression".

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course not. The Raw Deal exacerbated and lengthened a recession into the Great Depression. By the way, I wonder who coined that phrase. Only a socialist could call a depression great.

I'm quite certain that Jesus hasn't done any damage to this country. Seeing as even if he existed (which I doubt), he died 1750 years before it was founded. Any damage done by others in his name is not his fault.

Why would increased government spending on public services not function in the same manner as government spending on the military?

I would find more offense with someone who called a war great. Luckily we've never done that. Right?

Do you know how much money was spent on the new deal? Do you know how much money was spent on the war?

That is your first hint to why. Keyensian economics works, but requires a helluva lot of funding to get off the ground. A lot more than the new deal.
