You always confuse me HA. In one post you'll be happy that taxes are going up because it's our responsibility to give the government more money when they demand it. Then in another post you rightly complain about what the government does with that money. I guess being on both sides of an issue could be mentally soothing.homeagain wrote: OF COURSE, they were always going to be raised....the fiduciary responsibilities have been negligent
for a VERY LONG TIME....get over it.

I recall an article in Barrons from about 40 years ago that says the same thing. IMO you have been trained like Pavlov's dogs. The more we spend the worse it gets, the more we spend.
Just like our public school system.

I think Bob's point was to say that government wastes much of what they take from us and it's never enough. If that proves your point, are you saying we should be ok with giving the government as much as they demand even though it will not be spent wisely?homeagain wrote:

I would agree if we had intelligent people who cared more about the country than they did about keeping their power, but we don't. What we need is someone outside the political swamp that didn't go to Washington to get rich. We need someone who has built things and has created jobs... oh wait, we had... nevermind. What we have in office now is a guy who has been made rich by his political connections and hasn't accomplished anything meaningful for the country in almost half a century. This is the guy who is going to lead us on fixing our infrastructure? LOL, yeah, when our taxes get raised I'm sure that money will go to the right places.homeagain wrote: Which Pres. was it that put people to work during the depression,building the Hoover Dam, providing jobs to the poor,while IMPROVING OUR NATIONS STATUS....thru rebuilding our infrastructure. I see the SAME

that is too utopian,right?)
(again in previewing the post it formats correctly,then breaks up...upon sending,this is frustrating,and I am not a tekkie)

It is NOT that hard to foresee a disaster....we do it now or pay the price in maimed bodies and death.
