So we are actualy in agreement here. LOL

That's kind of what I said in an earlier post: There is a "sweet spot" between the 2 extremes. I think the govt. went too far in the wrong direction a few decades back and it's time for the pendulum to swing back somewhat.
A staggering 43% of the American workforce is unemployed.
46 million people are on foodstamps.
The national debt is heading for 20 TRILLION dollars.
The govt. is no longer just "helping" older people. It's trying to control far more than that. And the results are the same as always when the govt. gets involved too far.
