Do you think it is wise to trust the government to ...

Really, well, you need to go back a few years and look at which party spent us into oblivion, when they began with a balanced budget. And it doesn't begin with the letter "D".

Right geegee! The last Democratic President to give us a surplus: Bill Clinton]

The last Republican President to give us a surplus: Dwight Eisenhower. 

The goverment for all the criticism that right-wing extremists level at it will certainly do no worse at running the banks, health care or GM then the greedy and unprincipled people who sabotaged the system and demanded our tax-money for a bail-out. The real fear of the republican party is that goverment will do an excellant job and people will demand that the goverment serve the interest of the MAJORITY instead of the super-rich. 

You said it, exactly right.

Not if we reform the tax code so that everyone, including corporations pay fairly. Right now only the middle class pays. And if Americans would stand tall and refuse to buy the trashy goods we are getting on import, that would help as well. It is very hard to find anything of quality anymore. American companies manufacturing overseas are not only paying very low wages to their workers  they are sending back trash at regular prices. Talk about getting rich off Americans. Look at the tags before you buy and learn which things are still made in America. If you want to help, buy American and then more taxes will be paid. And write to your congress people about tax reform. It should be apparent that the middle class can not do it for much longer. Not only that, the middle class is getting older and older.

Does it ever occur to you Madam that had the people running the banks, health and GM been responsible or at least competent then we wouldn't be having this conversation in the frirst place?????
