Unfortuantely, Financial Reality's credibility is blown by the statement, "A reduction in the burden of government, which spends 44% of U.S. GDP in non-productive ways, like wars" In the third quarter of 2007, the last quarter for which data is available, government spending amounted to 19.4% of GDP. The data are here at the Bureau of Economic Analysis web site: http://www.bea.gov/national/nipaweb/TableView.asp?SelectedTable=5&FirstYear=2006&LastYear=2007&Freq=Qtr Since 1946, government has averaged just under 20% of GDP.

Everything will return to sound basis and people will stop lying and fighting for power. Read like a letter to Santa Klaus.
