The Big Three are now from Japan...not Detroit!!!
If I didn't know better, and I obviously don't, you guys (Bucco, SteveZ included) must go to sleep praying that the United States collapses rather than you being wrong that government may just possibly, possibly be able to help its peolpe sometimes. It must kill you to see when Government works!

It darned near killed me a couple times, and did take a number of good friends. If I wanted it to collapse, I would never have invested the years I have into its success, especially the last five.
Your choice of words explains the difference in how we think. To me it's "the people's government." To you, it's "the government's people." I don't "belong" to anyone, least of all to any government.
I'm just not naive enough to believe that when politicians with no business experience and too lazy to read what they're voting on which leads to spending boatloads of other peoples' money, that the spending is done with the taxpayer's benefit as the first concern. If there was true concern, then it would have been done RIGHT - read the bill, debate it, run the numbers, understand what it all means, and then vote. The BS that it was too important to spend the time to read legislation with that price tag is scurrilous.
"The Government" isn't helping anyone. Select folk in appointed/elected positions are helping themselves, their friends, their supporters, with everyone's money - today's and tomorrow's.
