Reagan cut VA benefits in the 1980's and sent us into a 3 year depression. Cutting all that money meant landlords did not get paid, big phrama did not get paid, Safeway did not get paid. and they were forced to cut even more jobs and the whole economy fell to shit. Business has to increase spending period, business refuses to invest in USA because they have child slave labor in china. cutting spending is what idiots do, we have to force business to invest in USA and get out of china and the rest of the world.
