Why the elite in government and education so incapable of common sense when it comes to tax payers money.

Please note that for every $5 taken from the taxpayer to fund a government program, only $1 gets to the person who was to benefit from the program. The government bureaucracy consumes the other $4. The QEs, 1 & 2, are the hidden taxation of inflation. When #3 is released, it’ll be the signal for me to sell stocks, further tighten the budget-belt, pack-giveaway-trash all items just taking-up space, bank more readily available cash, stock-up on non-perishables, and make sure the car is in good running condition.

Fiat currency, a central bank, and a printing press – as Ilana has noted – cannot create wealth.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

Oh did I say that was an obvious kick back scheme? Silly me, they assure us there’s NO connection whatsoever to one of the primary backers of the project being a big Obama contributor it’s a all a big coincidence…

SEE THE CHARTS at:

http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2010/06/federal-spending-by-the-numbers-2010

We had a 50% of per household spending increase from the good old days of Clinton (year 2000) to the present.

By the way, the 1990’s had more job creation when the per capita spending was lower than we have had since the big jump in spending since 2007. The charts are quite telling.

The dog continues to growl and bite but the coon is still dead. All these academic giants in the universities and government just keep growling and biting but the coon won’t come to life. To a simple thinking, I think Ilana says simple minded, person such as myself it seems easy. Get government out of business and off the back of business’s back. Cut taxes and onerous regulatins on both businesses and the individual. Then stand back out of the way. There are plenty of people out there with the ability to start and run companies, make a profit and thus hire people that the system perks along and it works. What we need is a few more good used car salesmen and fewer PHDs.
