As Karl Marx wrote in Das Capital: The shifting of....

Now, if I were to actually do that, would you take that seriously as support for my position?

How about some factual information supporting the contention, and not an op-ed piece from a like-minded individual.

First off, how has his budget done that? Second, if it is true, want to give me some reasons why it is the wrong course? And by that, I don't mean a quote from Reagan on why government is bad. I want some hard numbers supporting your contentions. Something that would make me rethink the numbers I have found. Because from what I have seen, the masses have not fared well lately. Unemployment is up, lending is down, the economy is horribly unstable and we have had years of deregulation and hands off business policies from the Executive. I just want to know why you consider a shift away from the policies of disaster to be a bad idea. And, again, no ideological rhetoric, but some number crunching. I remember being told that my energy costs would go down if electric companies were let off the chain and "real competition" was allowed. So far, all I have seen are rising prices, less reliable service and fewer people willing to take responsibility for anything. We were supposed to get cheap electricity and instead, we got Enron. That is just one example.
