Sometimes yes---other times no. When a FEMA representative gives a disaster victum a check, is he helping?

Don't know, but Trillions has been spent already on this. Let free market forces wipe out those banks in 08 which are just Zombie banks today. New banks would be established perhaps. Take that $4 Trillion and set up a nationalized bank and shore up the FDIC at least protecting personal savings? A lot of tthose Trillions in taxpayer money went overseas.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. When FEMA funds are used to buy flat screen TVs and Jewelry.....you tell me. I know that's the exception rather than the rule, but it has happened and will happen again. I thing 'ole Ronald was referring to Big Brother in another way.

No sane person is against government...but Reagan's insinuation of government being too big and trying to do everything for everybody is definitively spot on...and if anyone believes that the present administration wouldn't like to do everything for everybody who votes for them, then ya simply haven't been paying attention the past 2 1/2 years.
it says:
"Warning! This truck may be full of politition's promises!" or something very close to that.
they do great work BTW
I saw one the other day on a honey wagon that could be the Congress and the Senate's new slogan......"#1 in the #2 business"

I think that would be more terrifing today then back then.

The govt was basically hands off during the 1921-1922 recession. The recovery occurred very quickly.
Every recession since has been meddled with, making them longer and more severe.

Unfortunately I see the same thing with our senior military officers. If this were not true, the lives of their subordinates would be more important than the desires of politicians.

<< <i>My experience has been that most government employees want to do a good job. Unfortunately doing a good job is not a priority for those at the top of the food chain. After 35 years in the government system I found that most people at the top got to their position because they were good at saying what others wanted to hear and not so good at saying what others needed to hear. There is a level in every government agency where employees become "politicians" and forget that they are there to serve the public.

Good God...It's been like that since before the Greecian's .. just human nature I suspect & unlikely to change.

Reagan was a hypocrite, he was a strong labor man until he realized he could make more money as a shill for right wing interests. His affable personality was his one, and only asset.

Your comment reminds me of another Reagan one liner:
'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.'
