I love it when people talk about “federal tax dollars” as if they have fallen from heaven.the only problems with imagining that money “from” the federal government allows us to have things we cannot pay for are:1) the federal government can’t afford these things either. it is giving away money it does not have.2) no matter which government is spending the money (federal, state or local) the source of the money remains the same.
“Government is never a source of goods or services.What it gives to the people, it must first take from them.”
it would be quite interesting to see our government made to live within its means.
