>> I think you've got the wrong idea if you think increasing the size of government is a growth tool.<<

So you would disagree with the statement that the space program stimulated growth in multiple new industries?


No, I'm sure you can find specific examples of government programs that have driven growth somehow. But given the choice of increasing taxes or decreasing taxes, I think the latter will drive more economic growth than the former.
