Not only those two things, but the third is are we able to--does the system always have the best and brightest move to the top?
Government has proven that it is not very efficient.
Our Federal Government has grown from $2.4 trillion in 2000 to $3.9 trillion last year.
every dollar that the Government spends is a dollar that is sucked out of this equation that created this economic miracle.
And then how is it going to spend the money?
I think the evidence is there that the connection between bigger Government and more equality has been disproven not just here in the United...
I have to tell you, I am offended by that argument personally.
So the model right now, we are about a little less than 18 percent of our GDP as the Federal Government.
the budget process is broken. We know that.
But every year that goes by, the solution gets harder and more difficult and more painful for people 50 to 100 years from now.
Here we are again, 2 years in, nothing has changed.
