I think that GOVERNMENTS and politicians need to understand this concept more so. The average Joe piss ant does not have much control in government spending and the economy. Where as the governments who are spending insanely beyond their means driving the country and world economy to collapse is what is at fault here.

That said, I concede that unless you're willing to PAY FOR IT, there needs to be some tough love for this country. If you want to go to war, you're kid should be the first one standing in line for a draft, and there should be a war tax. That way everyone feels it, and pays attention to what the government is doing.

If the entire country had skin in the game, there would not be any 10+ year wars, and 800+ military bases. If every time you had to build a new prison, there had to be a new tax to pay for it, you would see a closer eye paid to the department of corrections in this country. You would stop warehousing our citizens for nonsense.

That is just the tip of the iceberg, but I digress.
