Now Salty Dog, what have I written that is not factually correct?

FDR did double the size of the federal government in 4 years. The Depression of 1937 did happen.

Tax rates were reduced in the 4 decades mentioned the end result were increased revenues to the federal government.

The sequester reduces the increase in new spending but doesn't cut TY over LY spending. In other words we will spend $15bn more rather than $100bn in 2013.

I know it is easier to be a wise-ass than to tell where I am wrong.

What did Morgenthau say about the New Deal..."We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work." Oh, that is Secretary of the Treasury's testimony before congress.
