Tractor lots are full

Taxes don't bother me. They seem a fair price to pay for what we get..

Thats a bandwagon I just cant jump on. All of the giveaways just kinda irk me. A few billion here and a few million there kinda add up to more than chump change. Maybe if some of the more domestic issues were completely in control, I’d be happy to play that second fiddle.

I can understand that. The giveaways seem unfair to me too... it's a lot like paying people to continue being deadbeats. The unfairness of the whole giveaway circus is as annoying as the wasted money.

So even though I think we are basically getting our money's worth with taxes. On that giveaway thing I'm with you and feel it too.

But realistically there have always been "life wasters" - poor & rich ones too. As long as the numbers stay small, I'd rather focus on encouraging the positive things the rest of us are doing. That way I'm the one running my life.

I agree and in an elected representative system there will always be things that some constituents want and those same things are considered waste by others. One thing is sure: both the poor and the rich are giveaway recipients. The middle class seems to be on the short end.

You bet we are. From here in the middle it's a short reach to snag the best from the rich side and the poor side both.

Here in the middle we've figured out how to balance a little bit of money with having enough free time to enjoy it.

No wonder all the giveaway recipients are constantly busy trying to pick our pockets.
Sometimes I wonder how we got so lucky.

I guess then I should be happy that you and some others think trillions is a small number. Little wonder the thousands it cost me for a little estate planning to try and protect something for my grandkids future.

My thoughts are on the global giveaways, not just those at home. If we used the money they hand out across the globe, I doubt anyone here would go to sleep at night hungry, not get care for their wounds, nor miss their meds.

I spent 23years of my younger life believing that our government knew what they were doing. Missed birthdays, anniversaries, graduations.
Got to see quite a few of the places no one would pick for a vacation. My optimism was broken, the reality is when do the wheels call their stockbroker, before or after they vote?

If it is trillions that make you happy that is fine by me. I figure things differently - but whatever makes you happy. I wish you the best, & hope you are successful with all that planning to make the future better.

I think he is concerned about the trillions the government is spending, not that he has trillions, or that any of this makes him happy.
