* Ok. Look at it this way. And we're being optimistic here. A
dollar comes into the government. It costs, for the sake of
discussion, .10 to collect it, .02 for interest on any debt, and .02
for interest on any short term financing for deficit spending, again
in the short term. That leaves .86 for the workings of government,
salaries, spending, physical plant for government activities, and
contract work. Which goes into people's pockets.

When you start making **** up you can make up any point you want.
You're living in a fantasy.

Dear Lord, I am getting so tired of politics. *If you please, I ask
that you equip each human being with wisdom, compassion and courage,
and reset to start. *Thanks for listening. *Amen.

I'm tired of people making up **** to support theories that are
totally ridiculous to begin with. You're spinning nonsense to support
a fallacy.

Eg. The total IRS budget increased for next year is 12.6 billion
that's to collect 2.5 trillion in revenue. That's .005%.

SO you're 10 cents a dollar for collection is horse crap, as is the
rest.

All to support your utterly ridiculous concept that government
spending doesn't contribute to the economy. *Gawd, how can people
believe so many demonstrably false things at the same time?

And then want to hold forth on them too. Sheesh.

Wait a second - I didn't say that, that's not me you're talking to!
