Recessions are a necessary part of markets. Removes dead wood. Obviously Wolff doesn't understand that.

Yes I do. FDR prolonged the Great Depression instead of letting it run its course. Pretty much what we have going with.the quantative easing. The 2008 crisis should have been allowed to run its course. Instead we printed and printed money to hold the recession down. Has resulted in huge debt, high inflation, and likely will lead to another Great Depression.

Where does the money come to put 10% of our population on the government payroll? FDR put people to work building roads, etc. Was able to hire 10% because we had 25% unemployment. If you hired 10% now where are they coming from with 4% unemployment? And what would they do?

Government doesn't produce anything. We aren't going to tax everyone to death so that we can pay 10% of the population nice salaries to do busy work.
