With the exception of a few items, what's the common theme with all of the problems you mention: government. This is why larger government is a bad thing. Our government gets bigger but does less. They tax us more but build less infrastructure. Just look at the President's plan to use Stimulus funds for infrastructure. Less than 10% of those funds were used for that purpose.<br><br>The issue here isn't American resolve or the fact that we don't want to do this. It's an over-bloated government not being held accountable by the people. That's our fault, no doubt. Now government wants more of our money. Do you trust them? I don't. Thanks for the post Paul.
