manzi tried to make the argument that being a 'welfare state' inhibits
growth. turns out he's flat assed wrong

turns out the ONLY parameter that differentiates americans from
europeans in terms of growth is our population growth. and most of
that is from immigration

'wefare' states are just as rich as the US is.

so while rush limbaugh would have us believe that god mean america to
be a poor country with a small group of rich people at its head, the
evidence shows this kills a country.

Don't listen to Rush. He is obviously upsetting you.

i haven't listened to the liar in 20 years. of course ALOT of idiots
do...and then they vote

He makes oodles of cash off of stupid Americans and those who sell
products to them. From his success, we obviously have a lot of
underecated idiots in this country.
