    Oh what a radical idea, we’ve never heard this shit time and time again.

    Has it ever fucking worked?

      Of course, of course. Every time. Just like those tax cuts for the rich always pay for themselves.

    I've never seen a company cutback its way back to success. I've seen them successfully use it to stem the bleeding to buy time for new business but that's it.

    My point being that the economy isn't suffering in any significant way because we've got a few people out of work. If we can't afford to carry them then we have bigger problems.
