I once heard stimulus spending compared to taking a bucket from one side of the lake and pouring it into the other side. It’s merely taking from one portion of the private sector and pouring it into another portion. Nothing gets accomplished.
Aye! I mostly have a problem with how they use my money. I don't mind paying a reasonable amount of taxes, but the taxes we are paying now is plain robbing! And I refuse to pay for flying some bureaucrate in business class halfway around the world. All those G20 meetings and EU meeting and whatever they call them - why can't they use video conferences like normal people in the private sector does. Or they are just plain wasting them upon stupid decisions, like buying computer systems which does not work and not writing the contract with the seller that they should fix the bugs before they got payed. Et cetera! I've seen so much of that kind during my professional life....
