What's an optimal level of government spending?

Mina said:
I'm comparing every single major nation in the world that has achieved a decent quality of life for its people. When you list all of those, you find that the US is close to being an outlier when it comes to government spending, since our non-military government spending is lower than that for every other big wealthy nation, and nearly every other wealthy nation even if you count the little ones.

I think in other contexts, this kind of "peer benchmarking" would be given a lot of weight. Like if a company were to realize that it spends less on training its employees than all its major competitors, and nearly all its competitors of any size, it would think long and hard about whether maybe it should be spending more. Or if an NBA team realized that it was taking fewer 3-point shots than all the other playoff teams, and that there were even just two or three non-playoff teams taking fewer 3-point shots than it was, it would strongly consider working on shooting more of them. When the large majority of those who are succeeding are doing something more than you are, it's suggestive (but not definitive) evidence that you could be more successful if you did more of that thing.

Oh, my point of view is definitely based on facts, you little commie shill cunt.

Americans in the future should be able to have it as good as I did. One week's worth of work should pay for anyone's housing for a month.

I was literally taught that by a mentor back in the day. Next week's pay covers groceries and utilities. Then you have 2 weeks of pay that's disposable income.

That's all I wish for future Americans. That's what MAGA is about. It not fair to them to leave them the country in the fucked up situation it's in now.

Irregardless if they deserve it or wtf ever. That's their problem. My problem is the country we're leaving them isn't as good as the one we enjoyed growing up. They should be entitled to that too.

Why can't we conservatively keep America as good as it was before it's handed off to future generations?

Something needs to change so they have the same opportunities we had. Hordes of illegal immigrants does not help that situation at all.

Idk about all that. I just know how it was, and how it is now. How it got to be how it is now needs to be reversed in order for things to be fair for upcoming Americans.

It was that way because we taxed the rich. Now you want to hand them tax breaks. So, the answer is a huge tax increase on the wealthy. And a wealth tax to correct 40 years of income and taxation inequality. You in?

Oh my god you people are moral less


You are not in the populist category idiot



You are anti populist


You don’t even get what’s in your own brain
 
America was great in the fifty’s economically because we taxed the fuck out of corporations and crushed monopolies while backing unions


The vast majority were doing great


Except the populations we kept out of the prosperity


People of color
 
Let’s get it right this time


Let all people into the prosperity



America will be unstoppable


And will be more moral too

Oh? What will that morality be based on, deshy?

America was based on everyone getting into the prosperity, you stupid bitch. Democrats are what keeps people from living the American Dream. (in this day and age)

Another thing American was based on is God's plan.

Exactly, and white people were fine with it because those 'lazy black welfare queens' weren't getting any of 'their' money. Now, they aren't at all happy with the idea of taxing the rich to distribute wealth appropriately.
