Michael; This list of economist reminds me of a list of scientist that said the Spotted Owl wasn't endangered and that if we set aside land for its survival we wouldn't have any lumber to build houses. Clinton set the land aside, then we had the biggest housing boom in history - all while lumber prices remained stable. Now with the set asides still in place, lumber companies are going broke across the country as no one will buy enough lumber to keep them going. Lumber hit an all time low a couple weeks ago! More government spending by Hoover and Roosevelt did not pull the United States economy out of the Great Depression in the 1930s But what the spending by Roosevelt did was give America benefits through the CCC that are still being used today. What a deal huh? steve
