Q3 GDP Grew 5%, "Fastest Rate In More Than a Decade"

No.

If that garbage is the best you've got, then you got squat.
Yes.

I love how you have absolutely zero response. Probably because its true.

One day I will make a thread about this, just not today...

When you do and you post something intelligent and worthy of response I will be there. But keep taking that Advil. Who knows? It might just grow you a pair after all.

I already posted where your party came from, what else do you want?

I'm the intelligent one here, anyone reading can see that...

I mean, almost all your posts reference my balls, and thats about it...
 
Sequestration did affect GDP in 2013. CBO estimated a 0.6% reduction in 2013's GDP, other estimates ranged from 0.4% to 1%.

Sequestration didn't have any major effects in 2014. Government spending didn't change much:

2013 Expenditures: $3.4 trillion
2014 Expenditures: $3.5 trillion (planned)

Government employment didn't change, and as has been the case during the entire recovery, the job growth is in the private sector.

While government expenditures do affect GDP, government spending does not appear to have contributed to the overall GDP growth rate (or the Q1 loss) for 2014.

Ah. So basically those who argued that government did not generate the resources it allocated, and that absent government usage, those resources would be put to better (more productive) use by the private economy were vindicated? Well who'da thunk.
 
Lol! For one thing, Volker created the Volker Fund in 1932 to finance hospitals and charities. What that has to do with promoting ideology or how it works as proof that he is the father of anything is beyond me.
Well read the article then...

The Volker fund actually gave allot of money to political organizations, and the reasons he founded it where to also reform healthcare, education, and to "combat the machine politics in local governments" so really it was always into politics...

When lunhow (his nephew) took over it went into politics hard, and really started growing libertarianism into the behemoth you see today.

In the early 60's it turned into the institute for human studies, and ceased all charitable donations except for those to a political end.

It eventually gave all its money to the koch family foundations among others (like hoover foundation) and eventually the koch family foundation would help fund john birch society.

There are allot of parallels between jbh and libertarians of today, including phrases and propaganda.

Growing Up in the John Birch Society | The Nation

No. Only late in his life did he use the fund for ideological purposes. Those purposes being local civic government education.

Thanks Mitt Romney.

I mean you can deny the facts of it all you want. It does not make them true.

He gave 7 mill to hoover. That's local politics? Its not even in his state!

He also gave to koch family foundations, the Bradley foundation, and the Carthage foundation. He sponsored professors in Austrian economics so they could teach, because no school wanted them.

By the end the Volker fund had no charitable contributions besides political ones, to the extreme right, and certainly on the national scale. For the love of god in the end it turned into the institute for human studies, which was solely a political think tank...

Not true. I reference your lack of them.
 
Again typical libertarian response. All bravado, no substance, no fact.
LOL. Start and thread. And bring friends. You'll need them.

No I won't need anybody. Libertarian myths are quite easy to debunk when it comes to your "history"

Heck the word itself meant anarcho socialism until you guys got ahold of it and twisted it beyond recognition...

Again that's the nice thing about you guys. No substance or fact. And don't get me started on your various versions of "history"
