I think it's conceivable that a country which embarks on policies it's citizens approve of may not be the undisputed king of gdp growth. I can easily see how countries can reject popular sentiment -in favor- of goosing their gdp. I don't think that any ideological or policy disagreements between people can be hashed out by merely point at whatever countries have done whichever things.
Some country may, after all, achieve the thing x we want (any of us want, anywhere) -by- doing the thing y that none of us (any of us, anywhere) would do. It goes without saying that reich wing desires for the item x do not extend to endorsing means y for simply having effected them in a particular scenario. I could for example, nearly eliminate all welfare spending in the us by killing all of Teh Whites.
Somehow...I doubt that Teh Whites would endorse this method of deficit reduction, no matter how geeked out about "deficit reduction" they are.
