    if liberalism were anything but ignorance you'd be busy proving it rather than wasting your time and ours.

    Conservatives have no understanding of economics, or much of anything else.

    Government spending increases economic activity, which is why when a recession hits, government spending goes into overdrive to help pull the economy out of it.

    you have learned 327 times now that govt spending means govt taxing which decreases economic activity thus no net gain is possible. Shall we go for 328?

    govt spending causes a decrease in economic activity and causes recessions since,
    1) the taxing required drys up private spending by exact amount of govt spending
    2) govt spending is wasteful and inefficient as compared to private spending and when it is withdrawn causes a recession. Recent housing stimulus depression is perfect example.

    Now does the liberal understand?

    governments increase spending DURING times of recession, to increase economic activity to pull us out of the recession.

    wrong of course!!! govt spending stimulates the economy but taxing to make that spending possible
    de stimulates the economy tghus no net benefit is possible. Do you understand?

    Now you can see why Obama and FDR had worst economies in American history.

    PS: this is kindergarten stuff and intelligent liberals know it but don't care because their real objective is always more and more soviet/cuban/Chi-Raq welfare spending.

    demonstrable fact of course, which is why the government does it every time there is a recession, and it works every time they do it.

    I already told you FDR ( 16 year depression and World War) and Obama( 8 year recession) famously spent money and compiled the two worst economic records in American history

    tax and spend on govt projects makes things worse not better. Can you say why on earth you think it makes things better?? It doesn't pull us out but rather drags us deeper.

    And your limited conservative brain seems incapable of comprehending that FDR had to deal with the GREAT DEPRESSION, and Obama had to deal with THE GREATEST RECESSION, since the great depression. Lol

    demonstrably incorrect of course. government spending during recessions, is one of the main drivers of the recession ending.

    Government spending demonstrably increases economic activity, and is one of the main driving factors in pulling the economy out of a recession.

    Conservative ignorance of economics is why they should be precluded from public office.

    1) a bubble( govt spending) bursts and represents misallocated resources so makes things worse not better
    2) taxing to support spending negates bubble so no net gain is possible.

    Do you grasp it now?

    I didn't say Bush was a liberal even though he spent more than even liberals would have wanted. Do you understand?
