[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty easy to find out where your money is being spent if you want to take the time--

http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb

For many functions the govt is much more efficient than the private sector.  Look at social security, medicare and medicaid.  The administrative costs for those programs is tiny compared to what the private sector or a charity would incur.

If your complaint is that the govt spends money on things you personally would not like to spend on, well then welcome to the club.  Everyone could probably cut 10% of the federal budget, but it would be a different 10% for each of us.  Living in a diverse democracy you have to be willing to fund some things you personally don't agree with, if the majority does.

If your complaint is that you think the govt's spending is dictated not by what people really want but by special interest lobbyists, then we have a club for that too, but the answer isn't just to cut spending for the people without lobbyists.[/quote]

You will not gain credibility by throwing out an opinion govt is more efficient then the private sector by giving social security, medicare and medcaid as examples. Just google those terms and the word Inefficiency result  from your query. Please send me some lines NOT from the whitehouse.gov or obama.com that tout government efficiency with social security, medicare and medicaid.[/quote]
