The point isn't the quantity of money grabbed. It's how the money will do the most good. No, that's your point, not her point. Cf. Grace's followup to you. What you ignored from her statements and in my comments was the implication that government largesse is ok because the middle class is more the beneficiary than they would otherwise be when government decides. I didn't ignore anything, I focussed on her central point, not your projection of what she said. The point is who is deciding what funds go to where . That's a new point and a new thread. DocStone

The point is who is deciding what funds go to where. This is a good point who is deciding what funds go where? Governments are inefficient as the individual incentive plan isn't there. Positions are numerous and tenure applies and maybe it would be more efficient if they all realized that indirectly they are benefiting themselves. I don't mean through kick backs, but long range investment thoughts. I dont feel either one of them see anything that has any disadvantage to it. It is just difficult to work within a government framework too many people involved and end results are terribly slow. Define good. If the result is good, benefits and doesnt destroy but create better, the rationale of why and what belief caused it is non significant. The emotions that drive something don't have to be the same for positive results as unity that results in positive action is the sum of it all.
