Yes, it is amazing. Literally TRILLIONS of dollars. That is impossible to fathom. But the hardest fiscal conservatives will somehow justify this. They are fighting for your freedom. Your freedom to pay them.

What a sad statement about our country. You can see why the economic shift is going from west to east. Money goes where it is treated best and so do freedom loving people. Laws like the Patriot Act will just push the United States further down the list as time elapses. We the people had better make big changes come November at the ballot box or our demise as people of the Constitution could well be at hand. Remove ALL the incumbent traitors from political office save Ron Paul who is an army of one in the land of our Constitution's enemy- Washington DC. Good article Citizen X.

Comment on The War on Toyota

Gee let's see Ford, GM, and the military all use the same product..but the government doesn't have sticky fingers in Toyota (yet) so Toyota has a major problem and we should not drive them.
OK shall we take a look at what that really means. YOU A UNFREE AMERICAN MUST BUY FROM Government OWNED COMPANIES ONLY.OR THE Government WILL MAKE YOU BY RECALLING THE OTHER GUYS PRODUCT.
I also think its a little iffy that so many companies use the same product, but the government owned companies have no product failure, I smell sabotage. I think the government sabotaged the product being sent out to Toyota. which would make the government responsible for the related deaths of innocent Americans. It is called industrial warfare, and anyone can see that it is happening if they chose to look at the facts.

Well X as usual this country is sinking lower. What is it gonna take for people to wake up! we need to take back our rights our freedom and our country!
We need to shut everything down goverment wise, including the green back dollar; I'm not saying life would be easy cause it won't be. BUT if we shut it all down for six months go back to the barter system for that period. we can rebuild this country the way it was ment to be. I know it would be tough, but it would be worth it.

The reason that greed become so prevalent is that government policies have eliminated risk from the market. Without risk, the market will not function properly. How is it that the private sector is greedy, but the government sector is not. Once someone becomes a politician, does he automatically become altruistic? Witness all the corrupt, graft, and malfeasance in government at all levels for the answer to that.

American ingenuity has been powered by people in search of a profit--the private sector. More government involvement will hamper, not help, innovation.

"An expansion in social services is a logical job growth area." Where does the government get the money to fund social services? Of course, either through taxation, borrowing (deferred taxation), or inflation (taxation by debasing the currency). The goal of an economy should not be jobs, but productivity--producing things that people want at the lowest possible price. Digging ditches and filling them back up again will result in jobs, but will it increase productivity?

Like the Republican agenda, the Democrat agenda makes sense. They are interested in getting votes. The Republicans promise to protect us from bogeymen; the Democrats promise to take care of us. Both are mirages. Who is promising to protect individual liberty? Oh yeah, in order to further either agenda, the sanctity of the individual must be suppressed for the needs of the collective.

I don't have a problem with big government. Two reasons: 1) I don't trust the private sector. Have witnessed too much greed. 2) American ingenuity has logically led to more efficient production and lessened the need for a large manufacturing workforce. An expansion in social services is a logical job growth area, particularly in the field of health care. Thus, the Democratic agenda makes sense.

Hey X, i live in Wales in the UK and we have had the same thing. Government inducing mass hysteria even thought it has been widely stated that the defects do not affect UK models. On another note i think the work you do is astounding. Please run for office, it would make America and the world a better place. Nobody outside of the US trusts Obama anmore than they did Bush and i think we need someone on the world stage who isnt just after the lime light.

When one takes into account things like veteran's benefits and long-term care, maintence of the nuclear arsenal (under the Department of Energy), interest on the national debt due to wars, etc., the federal government spends in excess of $1 trillion yearly. That doesn't include much of the cost of the wars which has been emergency supplemental spending. It also doesn't include stuff like lost productivity due to the transfer of resources from the private sector to the government, which is impossible to estimate much less measure.

To answer your question, literally a trillion dollars has been spent with trillions more to come. War is the health of the State.

Speaking of government spending, where do you think the U.S would rank if your government haven't spent all of that money sending troops over to the middle east?
