"The economy depends more on what the government doesn’t do rather than what it does."

We wish that were true, but state and federal government spending accounts for 44 percent of the nation's GDP.

We need to increase oil and gas exploration, crude and finished product pipeline distribution and refinery capacity and shrink government.

But before it is spent it is taxed. GDP goes down 3% for every 1% it is taxed. You can’t possibly believe that money benefits the economy more when government takes it away from the people who created it?
