The money is not going to spring up from some magical pumpkin patch. Ah, but the Dems believe it will. They think there is a vast pool of wealth that is just sitting there waiting for harvest and redistribution. I recall a survey done some time back and some very high percentage surveyed believed the government has it's own money. Ah, here is reference to it: economics.gmu.edu Fox News Opinion Dynamics conducted an opinion survey. On July 16th, the survey was reported on its web site by Fox News reporter Dana Blanton. One survey question asked: "Some people say the government has plenty of money of its own and it should be spent on programs. Other people say that the government has no money except that which it takes from citizens in taxes. Which do you believe?" Thirty-nine percent of the respondents said the government has no money except what it takes from citizens in taxes. Eleven percent said neither or they weren't sure. But get this: fifty percent said the government has plenty money of its own.
