However, throwing more and more money at the problem for the past 4 decades has only made the problem worse…so much for Hilary’s plan… > [@The Bimmer is donezo, and I want to cry.

(The reason is because a lot of this money goes to research and a lot of the researchers doing the work are immigrants who live here and spend money here!) Oh…in that case, let’s get Pittspeed in the federal budget so we can research cars…we’ll spend the money here, it has to be a good idea. Tax everyone more…so some people can do an easy job that doesn’t actually produce anything…now that’s the way to build an economy. > [@The Bimmer is donezo, and I want to cry.

Ron Paul wants to privatize this industry who would be most interested in capital gain in the end, not the well being of all citizens. I have friends who can’t afford their cell phone bills, rent, or (insert item here). That doesn’t mean I should be taxed to pay for it. How about car insurance? Mine keeps going up because I get in accidents and drive too fast. I have an idea, the government should pay for it, because I can’t afford it. It would benefit all citizens…so it must be good. > [@The Bimmer is donezo, and I want to cry.

Nope, people need to move the f&\*% out of Pittsburgh until the leadership here is able to do something other than raise taxes every 3 months and still go broke. And what the hell is wrong with bringing our troops home from the foreign bases? Why don’t China, Japan, and Britain set up bases all around the world and maintain them until we get our debt under control. In fact they can put some on our soil too, that would be great… Why do Americans think that our shit doesn’t reek as bad as the next country’s? Why is it ok for us to have bases there, but not ok for them to have bases here? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/anyone-paying-attention-to-the-economy-going-down-the-fucking-shitter/194987)._
