Gov. needs to cut back. Stop telling people to cut back. People spending money helps the economy. Gov spending money is a nightmare because its like handing then an open check book. Gov. needs to cut back if anything and give tax breaks to more companies to create jobs.

I'll make a deal with you: I'll try to start "thinking right" if you put a leash on your hysterical use of punctuation and boldface font.

Deal- you first- and I take the RR stance- "Trust but verify". My first thought is you ain't thinking right as my use of punctuation hardly qualifies as "hysterical":

hysterical [hɪˈstɛrɪkəl], hysteric
adj
1. of or suggesting hysteria hysterical cries
2. (Psychiatry) suffering from hysteria
3. Informal wildly funny
hysterically adv

Well, I'll concede that choice #3 ain't gonna apply.

An irrelevant comment. How do you know I am the one driving it? How do you even know its mine? How do you even know I still own it? And what does driving a C Class have to do with my company or financial position?.......

Is the currrent president the only one "pissing away away" their money? It's not about Republicans spending like "drunken Democrats" or "drunken Democrats" . . . it's about who we put into the House and Senate, not their party.

Unfortunately, an unrestrained "free market" provides little security in a global market. The only survivors in such an economic environment would be the big, not the many. So, the non-utopian view is that there has to be government involvment in the economy, even if it is to administer tax breaks and federal spending.

Belive me its not only Obama who is spending money. The Gov in general is spending too much money and not getting anywhere with it. He is just making it worse off.

You need some sort of control yes. We dont need Gov. controling everything like they are trying to do right now.

Ha ha ha. Yes Venice/Sarasota area did take a nose dive but the proporty I have down there is what I purchased for my personal use. The only time was when I bought a place down on Manasota Key and flipped it. That was investment. The place down there now is for a getaway. The priced has dropped on it by about $200,000 but I didnt buy it looking to make anything off of it. The only reason I rent it out is to cover the taxes. Besides that area is comming back. Things are moving again but that whole area is right on the Gulf of Mexico and the values will always be high.

Not that I enjoy paying taxes, buy don't you think that money spent by the government also makes it back into the general economy? Do you think that government spending also creates jobs, or is it somehow different from private spending?

The issue I have is that Gov. wont make jobs for people. Look at what occurs now. Its people who make a difference and create jobs. Not Gov. All they know how to do is create Gov. jobs. But we cant have everyone working for the state or the Gov. We need Gov to give tax cuts and let entrepreneurs create jobs. Thats how this country became great. It was only done by hard work and money well spent. That is the only thing that will save the young generation of this country. Its going to be a rocky road for the young generation.
