That's your opinion. Is it correct or incorrect?
About 15 million children in the United States – 21% of all children – live in families with incomes below the federal poverty threshold, a measurement that has been shown to underestimate the needs of families. Research shows that, on average, families need an income of about twice that level to cover basic expenses.

Comparing micro and macro economics is stupid.

Correct. That is an opinion. It seems you are starting to getting the hang of this. I was getting worried there for a second.

While you keep dodging the question of at what point is saying 'too munch spending' become inherent fact?
Never?

Exactly. I really appreciate the OP writing this thread. It doesn't seem like it because this should be common sense, but clearly there are posters on ATS and even this very thread that need a lesson on the difference between those two words.
Another point that should be said: Admitting that the statement you just said is an opinion isn't an attack against yourself or means that your statement holds any less weight. It seems like there are posters who view admitting they are saying opinions as a character flaw.

Now that I've cut to the chase with "Never?" now I'm threatening the topic itself?
And that's not an opinion.
And there's surely no motivated reasoning behind the two of you now refusing to answer the question.
