re: Annualized rate of debt accumulation by president and congress since Eisenhower.

Do you seriously want to argue that the United States debt isn't directly linked to massive social welfare programs, a foreign policy that requires us to be at war permanently and a bloated military budget to effectuate said wars?

Just like most Libertarians it's almost like you're kind of on the right track but then you take a hard left. The social welfare programs of this country exist to keep the poorest parts of our population dependent and away from the process. After all, they are the people that could create the most trouble for the most wealthy people so they are kept happy and uninvolved.

This keeps them from complaining about things like Perpetual War which makes a set few a ton of money. Pretending like it's social welfare that causes us to need war is ludicrous. The military-industrial complex, backed by big banking, has been steering this country wrong since World War II ended. The weapons contractors are rolling in it and they use us all as fodder.

Your whole schtick is misguided. I bet you're one of those people that thinks free market solves everything. Well guess what? The most useless profession in the world will be running everything very openly if we did something like that. How quickly Libertarians forget about the robber baron days and point their finger at government as if businesses aren't using the government as a veil anyway
