11. Yes. It's dumber than dumb. It's a dangerously idiotic proposal.

Do you have any concept of how close we came last year to seeing the economy stall out? Do you have any idea the role government deficit spending plays in a declining economy? We are the party of FDR and Harry Truman.

Hey, guess when we did the most deficit spending? WWII. And it ended the Depression.

Good God, read a book.
