I, in good conscience want an FDR to come around. We got Sanders. I say take from the very, very rich [between the Kochs and the Waltons that's the wealth of half our population] and make a New "NEW DEal": to get people work and send them to school. When FDR was in office the very, very wealthy were not nearly as rich compared to half the population. To say he is communist is misleading and you know it. You re smarter then that. We are all a bad diagnoses away from poverty. Don't act so rich and mighty.

You have NO IDEA how much the government spends. It's completely out of control.
US Budget in 1 Day: $10,460,188,800.
For the year 2011:
- The US Government spends $10,460,188,800 (~$10 billion, 460 million) per day (both portions)
- Of the total money shown above, the US Government borrows $4,506,849,315 (4 billion, 506 million) each day.Jan 26, 2012
That was when I Googled "how much does the government spend a day". They spend $10 billion a DAY! Bill Gates TOTAL worth is $75 billion. If you took everything from him, it would run the government for 7.5 days. Warren Buffet, 6 days. The Waltons? A mere 3.5 days a piece.
The government borrows HALF of what it spends! How long would we last if we were borrowing half of our daily expenses? We're being bled dry. The government is THE market in way too many areas.
