I complain when any of the money I have earned is spent frivolously!!! I don't like the spend and spend ways of either party. So lighten up!

What other way can we get out the situation we are in other than to keep spending in order to help from within rather than waste by spending outside the country? There is no other way. More taxes, spending more to create jobs. I mean what else can be done?

I think you have it all wrong. Taxes do not create jobs. Spending by the government does not create jobs. THE largest drag on the economy is the Govenment, Federal, State and Local. The only way for the government to help the economy is try to not hurt the private sector.

I read yesterday that 2/3rds of the economy is private spending. So, that is the reason the U.S. had done so well in the past decade. We spent ourselves into properity with home equity loans and credit cards. Now we are paying that bill!

Taxes don't create jobs? Then how do people who fix and build our roads get paid? Along with the education system and everybody who essentially works for "Us"? If there is not enough tax money more and more jobs get cut. It's happening now. The only way to balance it out is through taxes, taxing marijuana something.
