That is my point your Dad God Bless Him paid for your education through taxes enforced by state and local governments.....he also paid for other kids who did not have dads or moms at all. Thank goodness
Pete I do not believe you have ever been hurt by big government ...speak in specifics. Paying taxes does not qualify.
I mean your going to get your Medicare and SS someday just like everyone else....unless Paul Ryan ( and the Tea Baggers) get their way. Then you can rely on your private ripoffs perhaps...and you will wish you had not voted for Ryan and Romney (if that is your intention).
Charles deficit spending is here to stay read some American and 20th Century history....it is not going anywhere. If we did not run deficits and if banks did not create money by loaning way beyond what they hold in reserves none of us would be able to own our own homes. It has to be properly regulated though.
It is sad that there is such anger about government in general....I can tell some people have never been out of the US and fail to appreciate what we have here in this nation. We have problems and big government debt that needs fixing. But destroying government is not the answer.
