    • that's because he never bothered to come up with an avatar. Any way, official deficits are always a lie. They don't take into account supplimentary spending bills.

        It's debt-based growth. When government spends wildly, there's lots of loose money floating around, fueling short-term growth. When Bush started, the federal debt was around 60% of the GDP. Lots of playing room to rack up debt without dramatic consequences, altough all debt is is basically a short-term stimulus in expense of a long-term decline. It doesn't really make sense to upkeep a deficit during an economic upturn, but it certainly does not cause a collapse of the US economy in the immediate future.
        Well, when you have a deficit and you reach an economic downturn you're really ****ed.

            That is incorrect. They do take into account such spending.
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              I believe the break up of the SU was caused because of the loss in production power of their oil wells.

                  One, it didn't cause the break of the USSR. The USSR was in trouble well before Reagan.

                  Two, I think most people in the know believe that we are in a more dangerous world today because of the loss of stability that the bipolar world created.

                  Three, the standard of living and length of life have decreased throughout much of the former USSR, so it was hardly a benefit to them. Now they have capitalist insecurity with a murderous thugocracy. Things don't look to get better anytime soon.
