You are the biggest dipshit liar on these forums.
Grow the fuck up, crybaby.
The federal government is spending more per person than ever before
But that spending is not equal across the board.
A favorite refrain from
The Stupids is that the average amount spent on a kid's education is X dollars. But the part you dummies leave out is that is not equal across every student because of the way public schools are funded.
So I don't know what you consider "spending" on people and if that includes Social Security, Medicare, Tax cuts, etc.
It's a vague and ambiguous answer by design.
Adjusted for inflation, spending per person has grown from $3,782 in 1965 to $19,515 in 2021.
So?
So you sit here and lie out of your teeth that the reason we have so little is we are not spending enough anymore?
Wealth is only created through spending, not cutting taxes.
So if you cut spending, you need to make it up somewhere else
otherwise you contract the economy...and that includes government spending too.
And let's talk about this premise of trickle down, which is what you are arguing here.
You are arguing a macro trickle down, where you believe that a dollar is best spent in the economy by an individual rather than the government...that is trickle down economics and has been proven to be utter shit by the last 40 years of economic data.
Every single time taxes have been cut, the household debt increases and the personal savings rate decreases.
Every time.
So the dissonance here is you think that a tax cut lets you keep more of what you earn, but the DATA shows that a tax cut results in increased household debt.
So it's
your feelings vs.
empirical data
Which one is real and measurable?
