Take the New Deal programs for example, they all cost A LOOOOOOT of money....
You bet they did. But that was not all. Take the TVA projects and the Oak Ridge facility--they imposed MASSIVE eminent domain seizures. Untold thousands and thousands of people lost their homes, farms and businesses.
In addition, people lost 43% of their (gold) savings.
The greatest Ponzi scheme in the history of the world was imposed, and MANDATED.
Millions lost their jobs when a mandated minimum wage was enacted.
The federal income tax was multiplied many times. The forms became much more complicated. For the first time, withholding was imposed.
A massive increase in the national debt.
Except for a brief period during WW2, the growing and production of marijuana and industrial hemp was outlawed.
Japanese-American citizens were rounded up and packed into concentration camps.
And much, much more. Now do you understand why the "New Deal" STINKS????? Wouldn't "RAW DEAL" be a better name for it?
IT will depend on the program itself, which lately like any other government program, probably won't do anything but add red tape.
You got that right.
He has yet to say where the money to pay for all of this is coming from.
From tax and/or "fee" increases--big ones. And not only from us, but from our children, our grandchildren, our great-grandchildren,......
And in addition, we will get deeper and deeeeeeeper and deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeper into DEBT.
