Cuts, no cuts. Republican, Democrat.

I think it's pretty safe to say that most of us do not trust Congress and/or our government as a whole. Why are we so hellbent on handing over more money? I just don't get it.

Let's say, just for example, that the whole population agrees to a tax rate increase of 15%. Everyone. Rich, poor, everyone.

Do we really trust the government, as a whole, with that extra 15%? If you are Democrat, you will most likely not trust the Republicans. If you are Republican, you will most likely not trust the Democrats. Somebody you don't like is going to be in control of the money, regardless of which party is in power at any given date.

Why are we arguing so hard to give these people more money? We see what they did with the Social Security money... they spent it. It's all gone. Now we have to fix Social Security by paying more money, that they will just spend again. And again. And again. And that's just one example. If money is laying around, they spend it. That's how the government works. In my house, if money is laying around... it gets put into a safe spot so that it's available when it's really needed. Right now is one of those times where that money is really needed. And there's nothing there.

It doesn't really matter who pays what anymore. It will be squandered away anyway.
