I don’t think that the Founding Fathers intended for the Federal government to ever cost this much.
As I have always counseled my sons, “It ain’t how much you make, it’s how much you spend.”
We don’t have a revenue problem in this country, we have a massive SPENDING PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's not lose track of this part. Reduction in revenues coupled with increases in spending is always a recipe for fiscal disaster.
1.6 trillion in collected revenue and our fearless leaders continue to escalate the national debt?
that comes out to $45,000 per individual of a country of 350 million.
This doesn’t include state and municipal taxes and we still cant drive down debt?
Its amazing what these buffoons in office at every level think can do with OPM (other peoples money).
With every tax bill should come a booklet with every expenditure approved by the government so people become aware of how our elected leaders continue to line the pockets of their donors and how stupid we spend money.
But wait
Corporation paid less taxes but created millions of jobs and hired a helluva lot more people
Who then became tax payers, not tax eaters
4% unemployment - worth the investment?
Hiring freeze on all departments. In about 30 years, we’ll be down to a reasonable number of government employees.
Proving that tax cuts work, yet again.
Or as democrats call it entitlement money for votes.
