In principle, that\u2019s got to be an absurd point of view. So it seems to me. One more thing, to his alleged factual correlation. Government really began to grow during the Roosevelt years, including the war years, and the economy has been growing ever since. Is your buddy playing fast and loose with history and, hence, with reality?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Corporations only have influence because they buy government and that is possible only because we have career politicians. Corporations cannot run the world for they compete against each other. We do need government, but an honest one. The only way to achieve that is with shorter one-time office terms. It should be more of a citizen government and any conflict of interest is a bar to any office in any capacity. Cruz\u2019s wife works at Goldman Sachs. Hillary will not release transcripts of her speeches for Goldman Sachs. They buy candidates and own Washington, DC. We deserve what we vote for and stupidly believe in. We are the fools who soak up all the lies each and every time and then the press is anything but independent and free. Hillary has raised tens of millions from the very banks on Wall Street she claims she will stand against. Come on. If that was remotely true then they would not give her a dime. They call Sanders and Trump dangerous because they are not bought and paid for by the bankers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/armstrongeconomics-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/2015\/12\/2017-Budget-Deficit.jpg\" alt=\"2017-Budget Deficit\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Socialist Lie that We have had Always a Growth Economy Since Roosevelt\u00a0 A comment by a reader with a philosophy is interesting and delusional at the same time.\u00a0\u201cArmstrong chose not to seek any compromise but to put all the blame on government.
