Hi Nostalgia:
As usual my thoughts on your comment are mixed. I think the RX thing sucks, I think the department of energy should possibly be combined with interior and make a profit.
I would hang onto education, but that is the liberal in me.
I hope you do take the time to look at the spread sheet from the link.
My thought (and it could be wrong) is that you would like to see a return to the role of the federal government that occurred after world war 1. From 1919 to 1928 federal spending and tax rates reduced dramatically. I was just looking at the history of major stock market crashes. Too much detail to type right now, but we did manage to get through 1942 till 1973 without a major crash. This was a time of high tax rates and expanding government.
I have read your words many times about the "New Deal", but I have to wonder about your opinion of the "Marshal Plan" or the "GI Bill"?
Sorry a bit distracted this evening.
