Well, back to form.  Sevener, your full of bull.  Having gotten'
that out of the way, I would suggest that you take off the
blinders and examine the world around you.  In the first place,
your remarks concerning Social Security and Income Security
are mixing apples and oranges.  They do not mean the same thing.
Social spending does NOT include social security payments.
Look it up.  In the second place, if the country is in such
dire straights, why is every economic indicator we know
pointing up?  Could it be that you have such a hatred for
RR that you are letting it cloud reality?  And finally, you
mentioned Hoover as being the one who started the great
depression.  Well, if you had paid attention in Government
101, you would have noted that there was more to the reasons
for the depression than appears.  To begin, I would suggest
that you read the congressional record abstracts for 1932,
the last session before the election, and for 1933, the 
first session after the election.  It makes very interesting
reading as to who blocked legislation designed to prevent
the depression.  It also makes interesting reading as to
who passed the exact same legislation later.  Even the
most staunch liberal historians agree that Hoover was eucherd
in this deal.
