You are a joke. We were a powerhouse in the 1950s and 1960s because we were the only economic power that came out of the 2nd World War largely intact.


Nice personal attack to subvert my arguments. The post WW II economy came decades after regulation of business began in the Progressive Era and New Deal Socialism. Now how would Government in and of itself be a negative to business? I agree that many laws and regulations of our current Government are BS, BUT that does not mean that lack of Government would equate to a better economy.

The economy did not start growing until New Deal and War spending ramped down and production shifted to consumer good.

Regulations of progressive era is in part what lead to the depression. The post WWII economy was like the OP said because we had the only intact industrial base left in the world. New deal socialism is what lead to the problems we are currently facing.

that statement is nothing more than a sequence of events. there is no correlation or causation in play

regulations being used by the connected elite to make competition illegal or unprofitable

removing more money from successful businesses via taxation and redistributing to less productive
