Not to mention fantastic spending on college/university (GI Bill) to both slow the impact of returning military on the job market and to create a highly educated work force. Also, incredible help for people to become homeowners, creating generational wealth (GI Bill again), unless you were black.
People act like high taxes on the wealthy would be a problem, when in reality what happened is the wealthy poured more of the excess wealth into their businesses, which benefitted everyone. It's so annoying that we freaking know what works and what doesn't (trickle-down), yet still argue about their efficacy.
I love how the "conservative" idea is to return to 1950s socially, but sure not economically! It's also pretty clear that this idea that somehow having a 1% is driving the nation. Case in point this spat! Does Musk and Zuck fighting or competing in social media do much of anything for the country as a whole? At most, it's similar to what DC and Marvel competing in entertainment IMHO. I guess Twitter vs Facebook does something regarding society, but making it non-stagnant? I guess a lot of people were introduced to the term 'cuck'.
