Amen!

That's like saying, I got a raise, so it's time for me to cut my budget and if I have a pay cut, I should increase my spending and not worry about balancing my household budget? That's inane.
Yes, really. Saving when times are good allows you to have money when times are bad.

Comparing household spending to government spending is also ridiculous.

Typical.

No matter what government does, you love it, and you don't even know who these people are, or what these jobs are, just the fact that government did it, is enough for you.

Those 150,000 jobs, at an average salary and compensation of $70,000 equals and extra $10,500,000,000 more each year the few working people left, have to pay.

Did we need to add such a heavy burden on a nation going thru "the worst economy since the Great Depression?" Or should we have tried and scaled back the government spending and waste, fraud and abuse, until we climb out of this four year long, economic hell hole?
