The right thing to do, and also a very hard one. We should in fact be running a budget surplus, with the surplus invested in gold, oil, etc. that is if we want the gov to be in the retirement business (i.e. social security). Personally I think that is a) unconstitutional b) a bad investment and c) bad policy (encourages dependence). So, for my part, cut taxes and give me the dif. BUT we must reduce the size of government and the number and intrusiveness of government regulations. I want a government that has a limited number of responsibilities and it does those things well. Meanwhile I’m not holding my breath.
“I want a government that has a limited number of responsibilities and it does those things well.”
Amen, brother/sister!
Instead we have the opposite: a gov that does many things, almost all of them poorly!
