How to Invest While the Government Keeps Spending

"How any person can feel that the government knows how to spend money better than they do is beyond me. Do these people forget that the only money the government has comes from them? Think about this for a moment."

I 'm in agreement with your theory, yet ask yourself where did this governmental mindset originate from.
The problem we as a nation face is political,...based on "quick fix and painless" incentives, assumptions and conclusions. The liberal agenda has indoctrinated the weak, sad, lazy and dumb amongst us ,so that they demand from the government what their lazy, stupid, self-serving parents before them demanded when they burned their draft cards, fled the boarders, tossed their bras,and decided they were basically smarter than the rest of society.
Take a look around...obviously, they're not very smart.
