A mighty big "if".
Still don't see where you got your numbers, or how you did the math. I
wonder if there's a division by zero involved.
I'm more interested in reducing government than complaining about it,
analyzing it, or affixing blame for it on abstractions. But maybe
that's just me.
Speaking of reducing government, here's one straightforward metric, and
a question about it. Two questions, actually.
Do you think that, in the next 7 years, any political party will obtain
control of the presidency (or any state's governor's office) or the U.S.
Congress (or any state's legislature), and cause total federal spending
(or total state spending) to decline, one year to the next? If so, do
you think that political party will be the LP?
Partial credit possible for incorrect answers, if you show your work.
