That is not an answer. Quantify it please. How much of the national
economy should be at the direction of the government (government
spending plus government mandated spending) vs. the private sector?
20%? 50%? 75%? How much? In my experience with proponents of big
government the answer is never quantified, only "more".

For
now, the financial rescue needs to include out-of budget spending and
out-of budget tax relief that will show quick impacts. We need to
also
hold-off on protectionism; if we only buy American who do we think we
can sell American-made products to? After 12-24 months of out-of

spending and tax-relief, we need to budget carefully, so we can
start to
build a surplus, like the one that president of stupidity (Big tax
cuts
for the top brackets! No regulatory over-sight!) ruined.
Thank you,

The only criteria should be:
Is this the most efficient use of the taxpayer's money to meet the
enumerated responsibilities of the federal government?
One thing I can never get an answer to from proponents of big
government
is "How much is enough?". Care to take a stab at it?
