You're posting on the Internet. So obviously you can't.

The problem facing the US is the same tat's facing many countries, Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy are extreme examples of too much bloated cash. Being fed into the wrong places. Yet that money was often spent on building, workers and in Greece. This filtered down to the ordinary people. Money filters down.

And that's what's happened in the US. Money the Government spent filtered down to your income. Take it away and you'll lose part of your US generated joins, because people won't have money.

As for doing away with the Government, were you born in a filed delivered by your Mum's sister, housed in that field in a wood log cabin, educated by your Mum, Dad had an arsenal of weapons to keep marauding gangs away and your family grew it's own food 100%.

The world is getting more complicated. It needs more scientist, engineers, superior geeks and all the people to deliver products that we can sell in the future. That needs education, plus the whole infrastructure to keep the wheels turning.

Once people started to collect together in the Stone Age there has been "Government". Because without it, we wouldn't of developed into the society we are today. You probably want Government and what it delivers, just don't want to pay for it.

Before anyone calls me a Communist. They are supreme examples of why too much Government is bad. It should never stifle growth.
