>>I have decided that your view of government is largely determined by whether you perceive your are benefiting from it more than it costs you, or if it is your perception that it is costing you more than you are benefiting.<<

but people don't see the true costs. almost *nobody* is benefiting from government except the government and the oligarchy.

yes, the government kicks down services, but they run up a tab to do it. they then pay interest on that tab and print more money to pay the tab.

the cost isn't paid up front, so the greed bag population is happy.

mark my words - these bills will come due on day and there will be no service attached to them. only *then* will we know the true cost of the services some like.

then again, the public isn't clamouring for fat government pensions, but they seem to have to foot the bill for them anyway.
