A lot of government spending is insane. We’d be better off letting the Afghanistan government do it themselves at probably a fifth of the cost.

or

Not paying for their hospitals at all. I thought we were there to fight the Taliban.

Maybe you’d care to name the company you work for?

And the CEO? I’d be glad to fire off an angry e-mail for you.

Be glad to do it, noobie.

The thought process is impossible to follow.

You're correct in seeing as you do, but unless we get sane people into politics (Oh, how I have hope for this freshman group .. !), We are the cuckoo ... or the nest ... or nurse ratchet ... or .... hell, like you .. I can't follow it either.

This is the redistributionist mentality at work. We rich Americans have to help impoverished people because “we” have money and “they” don’t. When it comes to figuring out which Americans actually will bear this burden, half of America gets an exemption and the top 1% are presumed to be able to afford to pay about 40% of the total even though they earn only 20% of the nation’s income etc.

In the eyes of progressives, the “rich” (often perceived by progressives not to deserve their income or wealth: see the URL above as an illustration) have nearly unlimited capacity to bankroll whatever grandiose ideas progressives come up with to make the world a better place. From their point of view, we don’t need to borrow from the Chinese. What we “should” do, in their view, is simply raise taxes on the rich, since they can afford it.
