Your good comment touched a nerve. All those things you have mentioned are what is known and I am sure there is more going on that would be cause for alarm. Even though they are financed by the government, they are wealth generators acting for the economy what a electrical plant does for a region’s energy. The space program for instance, created technology development in the major corporations that have since led to other innovations and products that have added greatly to the economy. Even though it originates from our tax dollar, the dividends from that spending have been huge. The Obamunists see them for the benefit to the economy and are, in my opinion, systematically taking them out so it brings our economy down like one would dismantle the electrical grid.
The government depends on the taxes from the wealth production in the private sector. What kind of transformation do we get when the private sector is so weakened that the flow of money cannot sustain jobs or meet the tax expectations needed to keep the government working?
I agree with your comments. You’ve touched on several issues and I see them the same way you do.
The one thing you missed was that we have been laying off our scientific talent.
Putting that team together took time. We won’t be doing it again and that is a perpetual loss for the nation.
