Now, if they could get their house in order and use the SAME accounting that we are forced to use, I might be more willing to trust them some more.

Not sure about that but I do know one thing. The rich have only so much to spend. Govt unfortunately does not. Govt spends more than it has on a daily basis. Some of it locally and some of it out of country. If I earn $500,000, I know I will spend most of it here. Govt, well...... Who knows where it ends up.
