That's another big part of the problem; the more money that is dumped into the government machine, the bigger the problem becomes. |
I'm not saying throw more money at the government, I'm saying fiscal responsibility. You want lower taxes? Great, I'm all for it, I'd love a bigger paycheck. But I'm saying that money has to come from somewhere, we're running the largest deficit EVER thanks to a combination of tax cuts and increased government spending. That's fairytale accounting right there.
So in short, you want lower taxes? Great, me too. But unless you can find 600 billion dollars of deadweight in our current federal budget, I don't see how you're going to do it. And if you can't do that, I don't see why you're so pissed off that noone else has.
