Cut Government To Grow The Economy

It has been long known by many economists that the size of government is a drag on an economy.  It is being stated again.  This time with the clear message that cutting the size will have a major positive impact on the economy.

“Eventually, you have either huge changes occurring in a peaceful fashion through reforms, or, usually, through revolutions,” [Faber] said. The U.S. is getting closer to such a revolution, he said, as is Europe.
“My medicine for the U.S. is: Reduce government by minimum 50 percent,” he said. “The impact would be immediately an improvement in the economy.”

The stereotypical government worker shudders...they might have to actually become productive.
