Why dont you show me government spending as real dollars and not just a percentage tied to the GDP??? Oh right, then it would look bad for you.
We are not Italy. If we confiscated 100% of all of the profit from the 1% we still would not be able to close the deficit gap.
But you dont want to look at it that way, you just want to be manipulated by the politicians into thinking that somehow the rich are getting a better deal than you are and the only way to make it FAIR is to confiscate more wealth from them. I get it, you drank the coolaid.
All we need is to confiscate more money from the people by the government and everything will be better according to Uncle Buck... Yeah, the problem is that we just are not paying enough....
because government spending in actual dollars is a misleading statistic, given how our monetary system steadily increases the amount of dollars in circulation year after year.
using proportions gives us a better idea of what's going on.
For Ex: Spending = 2 Total GDP = 10 Spending = 20% of GDP
Spending = 100 dollars Total GDP = 1,000,000 Spending = .001% of GDP
In dollar amounts spending increased 50 fold. as a percentage of GDP spending dropped to .005% of GDP...
you really don't get it do you?? still you decide to debate... lol
