back on topicWould it be immoral for a national government to sit on a surplus?
What would a national government be saving for? I heard Wingnut Senator Rand Paul (R) Kentucky say people need to learn to save money and so should the government.
If a national government saw a need, I suppose a Rand Paul national government would say "We'd like to help you but we need to save." You'd ask "Why?" and I am sure they have some weird circular reasoning.
So what do you think? If there were a need the government could address, would it be immoral for a national government to say "No" and sit on a surplus?
If a national government started saving would that be considered theft savings?
