"Why must every answer be the government needs to stimulate? " Because it works. That's not very complicated. I'm surprised you haven't figured that out; even Raygun did. "When will you all learn that the government never creates NET new jobs." Never; it's a lie. "Every job they create is done with taxes they take from you and I." So what? That means you, I, and somebody else now have jobs. (Except I'm retired, so you and somebody else have jobs). "when the gov't gets so massive like ours, they waste so much of our tax money, it becomes a serious drag on the economy" Only if the money is wasted on wars. The share spent here stimulates the economy. " The best thing our gov't could do is get out of the way and let free enterprise grow our way out of this shithole" The best thing they can do is pay no attention to your nonsense. The next best thing would be to spend major money on power sources, a smart grid, potholes, rusty bridges, leaky levees, 21st century waste treatment plants, rising tides, et al.
