Well, you are so against government, but government is a necessity and beneficial. Why not just gut the whole government, then we can have Katrina-type response to everything. Oh, and we can take away your Social Security too, and Medicare. And we don't need a firehouse or public library. Instead, cut taxes and do things on your own. Free enterprise. The good old American way. Then watch the big banks take over. LOL (And no, I am not a government employee).

If the government is expanding--increasing expenditures--at a time when pretty much every other organization is cutting back because of low demand, this is a problem to be solved rather than an advance to be celebrated.

We're never happy, are we? Boo hoo, my house lost value and I can't afford to live there. Boo hoo, my neighborhood gained value and I can't afford to live there.

Sounds like a bubble to me. Thanks, feds!
