The US Government spends more money than any entity in history. You think that isn't valuable to all those who wish to obtain some of that money for themselves?

The point of my analogy was that government has some specific functions spelled out by the Constitution. If we stuck to government's main functions rather than trying to have it do everything for everyone - we would make it less of a target for corruption.




What exactly is it do you think the main functions of gov. are? How do you achieve these without money?


Well, this thread is long dead, but the main functions of the FEDERAL government are spelled out in the Constitution.

Historically, we were able to fund those functions consuming far less of a percentage of our GDP.
