I'm a Libertarian. Even if I were a Republican, you can't argue the facts that spending is totally out of control. Can you name one country that spent itself into prosperity?

"you can't argue the facts"

You've presented one single fact and it was incorrect. Now you're presenting an opinion.

"Can you name one country that spent itself into prosperity?"

The United States has been pretty awesome at cyclically spending a ton of money on infrastructure projects after recessions. WPA is probably one of the most successful things we've ever done. Feels like you should keep an open mind in discussions like these versus using opinions as facts.
