3. Total gov't spending is about 20% of our GDP.
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 10:39 AM by baldguy
In many areas it's much greater. If you take 20% of the GDP out of the economy, you've got a depression.

Isn't the reduction of gov't spending the cornerstone of the GOP economic platform? Hasn't Bush starved state & local gov'ts to do just that?

Bush WANTS the economy to tank. If young people can't find any other jobs, he won't need a draft to get them in the army.
