government money = your money

I've said it before and in light of current events it's worth repeating: the government gets its money from YOU. So when it hands money out, even if it's to you, you cannot possibly get back the same amount you put in because some pays for the process itself. Or if it just prints more money for itself, it deflates the value of your money and thus it is still robbing you. Monetary value is moved from the bills you have to the bills it just printed. Now of course, if you don't put any money in but are handed a check anyway, then you win for doing nothing. (Ain't that system great!?) But I'm referring to people who actually pay into the system.

Come on, folks. Not hard. The government isn't digging up money in Bush's backyard. So why the heck should there be any appeal of government spending to people who pay into the government coffers? Is logic really that dead in America?
