Economic Slump

Earlier I saw a headline that said:  "Economy in U.S. Shrinks as Defense Spending Slumps".

Interesting, but nothing strange   ---   right?  Well, no.  It should be seen as "strange" because defense spending is GOVERNMENT SPENDING  ---  and we "all" know that government spending does NOT, in any way, manner, shape, or form stimulate the economy  --  right?

In fact, according to the VSP's the RIGHT way to prosperity is budget cuts, "entitlement" cuts, LOWER taxes on the RICH, and a higher tax burden on what's left of the middle class and the poor  --  thus lowering the deficit, and making the already rich even richer  --  because insanity, and greed know no bounds.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch the last time government spending was going to be cut, along with higher taxes  --  something that would have actually cut the deficit - for now - was called a "fiscal cliff" by these same VSP's.  Something to be avoided at all costs.

Why does ANYONE still listen to these fools?
