I thought we were talking about Federal taxes. I haven't said anything here about how the public dollars are spent, have I? Wouldn't my "great-great-grandchildren" agree that if I pay tax dollars, they should return to my society in some beneficial way that supports the kind of world that I believe is likely in their best enlightened interest?

What's borrowing or "profligacy" got to do with anything that I said at all? I say it again, if I pay taxes to government outside of Colorado, I expect non-ideologically-charged and non-polemic support returning from them to improve and progress my world in a reasonable, credible, and enlightened manner that I can agree with, dollar back for dollar sent in fair proportion.
