TOO much Government?

[Mad Dog]

I don't think anything is free. It's all paid for in taxes. I'm not completely stupid (but I will admit to being atleast partially stupid). The main thing I think is that the government should make jobs until the economy is kick-started again. This is what happens with out-sourcing, a wonderful idea to make cheaper products, causing people to lose jobs. I know what it feels like to have a guy leaning over your shoulder to take a picture of the part you are working on so they would know what it looked like assembled when it goes to Mexico to be produced instead. That was a fun day. But right now my job is relatively stable, unless workers' comp insurance companies start going under. Then I'm screwed. So, as of now, I put my bit in savings and then proceed to blow the rest.

Still don't know where you think all the money would come from. You mention taxes, but to support a massive wave of government spending/job creation, you'd have to raise 'em. I don't think you'll get much public support from that, given the current economic situation.

Actually, we could get the money in loans from China then let our grandchildren pay for it. Then we wouldn't have to raise taxes!!
