OP- BLAH- AS IF...any of that has happened. But thanks for every phony debt crisis and shutdown threat, costing AT LEAST 0.6 in growth each time- and not a single real jobs bill in the last 4 years...BRILLIANT.
"( Noam Chomsky) told Radio VR during an interview posted online last week that he agreed with the conservative political analyst Norman Ornsteins' characterization of the Tea Party.
He described them as a radical insurgency opposed to rationality, to political compromise, to participation in a parliamentary system in fact, with no positive goals themselves."

AGAIN you think government creates jobs.
Let's assume ALL jobs were paid by the government.
Where does the tax revenue come from to pay the jobs if there are no businesses paying their share of the 7.6% of Social security and Medicare that goes directly into the Tax coffers.
37% of Federal tax revenue comes from Social Security and Medicare payments by employees and employers.
If there are NO profits then where does the 7.8% corporate income tax come from that makes up the Federal tax receipts?
Finally assume ALL employees are federal employees..where will the tax revenue come from to pay their salaries out of which income taxes are paid.
47% of federal receipts come from income taxes.
There is no way if all employment is paid by tax revenue that the government is able to continue. Common sense dictates that.
Federal Revenues by Source
Let's for sake of simplicity say there is a land where one person lives and a government that consists of one employee i.e. that person.
Year 1.
1) $1 million in tax revenue.
2) This government has one employee who is paid $1 million in salary.
3) That employee pays $350,000 in income taxes.
Year 2.
1) Government revenue of $350,000 that came from previous year income taxes paid by the employee.
2) Government must pay $1 million in salary.
3) Where does the government get the other $650,000?
Do you understand as I would think someone like you with two masters and a 145 IQ should grasp the concept.
Governments CREATE nothing.
Nonsense.
One of our clinics down in Nogales does the annual physicals for the border patrol. Several hundred physicals, a year translates into several jobs, income, and allows us to keep that clinic open which also helps the entire community.
It's a transfer of wealth to be sure but there is a spin-off that benefits all of Nogales. If the Federal Government was not there, that spin-off doesn't happen.
