he did nothing and we had 50% unemployment and you are selling pencils on

street corner you'd be happier? I don't think soooooooooooooooooo.

You seem to forget, Paul, I don't believe in the power of government
to save an economy. I believe a government can hurt one a lot worse
than it can help.

That has been proven false many times. Sometimes government is the only
thing that can save an economy. You've just never been through the worst of
it so you feel smug and content with your dogma.

The major difference is this: If I had to stand on the corner selling
pencils to feed my family, I'd do that MUCH sooner than I'd be willing
to take government "help".

Cool beans. More for the rest of us. I wouldn't count on too many
customers though. Get my drift?
