Want to know why our economy is foundering? Blame government spending.
Government spends $57,000 per family of 4 per year. Pure waste. The median household income of Americans is only around $45,000, so the people aren’t even making as much as the government wastes on them. This is unsustainable.
Here is a great slide show by Rich Sokol to help illustrate the issue of government spending policy.
