Terry,
Lets make a USA Government Congress & Senate Power Index.
This might supply an "why" type answer to your comments,
as follows.
"... government [spends] all they took in and then some."
"... government really [doing] the will of the people...?"
make a list of congress men & women
same for the senate
list the names with the most "powerful" at the top
powerful being those cited by mainstream media
as those who control the wheels of the government
now
list all the different "chair(s)"
those who control meetings for committees
of which i'm very clueless on
but if someone could locate an url in some .gov web page
that lists the structure of congress and senate
then that will be it
and now itemize how much money
each committee or sub-committee spends
i bet that the most powerful poitician(s)
match up with the places that spend the most money
as Hutch does have a point
rather than place your money into a bank savings account
you may speculate it
as in a gamble, without the bank's FDIC
as an investment into the markets
markets being shares in a company
those longone Richard's pork belly buttons
or
minerals like copper, tin, lead, silver, gold, etc
or
include with your investment method foreign stuff
like values, beliefs in God, environment, Green Peace
or
save the whales, frogs, trees, etc
or
you may view money as a source of power
as in, the more you have, the more power you have
or
you may view money as a location of power
as in, if you control its allocation, you have power
where
in usa government to spend tax'ed money
who decides how it spend, the where and how much
bottom line
someone receives this money
and this type of power is sick & evil
unless
accountability Rules
which to an extreme, it does not
or
scientist want one unifying equation
to explain all things in the physical sciences
or
free market folks want [evil] manipulations to never happen
for example, a gold standard, anti-trust laws, etc
or
accountability Rules
or
money is not good or bad
it is only a tool
to help people exchange goods and services
like a fork
to exchange food on a plate
with an empty hungry mouth
is really a bad and dumb example
sorry
money
to obtain it
is to obtain a tool
if a teenage highscool kids says "mow your lawn for $5."
you could reply
yes, but first tell me your opinion of the environment
or are you religious, think its wrong to cut grass, etc
or what are you gonna do with the money
or are you hoping for rain so you get more grass to cut
and if so to the rain question, might you wish for extra
rain eventhought it will damage the farmers corn crop
or
it's the money stupid
or
this post has too many loose ends
and yes
some of these ends have no beginnings
for sure a good example for ron-moon to display
as an semi-incoherent dougak post :o) i agree
no joke, i forget what i was going to post on
something about money, power, greed, goodness
or
all the above
Duh'd:oug |
