Very well put. I see your points, that even though certain government functions are necessary they are a drag on the economy. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we didn't need as many police or judges?

I still believe that other tax and spend issues, the interstate higway system, for example, if funded properly, are a highly beneficial to the overall economy and have little downside... but then there's that $250 million bridge to nowhere in Alaska...

Namaste!
