Ilana you’re wrong! (just kidding) For every job created by the govt. you’ll be losing probably two or more in the private sector due to bureaucratic inefficiency in using the stolen money.

History repeats itself often. I think that you are wasting your breath on the dumbed down population. According to a friend of mine, “change has come”, I guess in the form of Messiah Obama. Yes change has come. I hope that Americans are ready for the shared misery

It does have a role to play, but must learn to do more with less.

Also, income tax must either be shifted to a flat tax of no more than 10-15% or scrapped altogether (and replaced by consumption taxes).
