What is really sad about this...
There is a legitimate role for government to play in delivering services to the public... But $3.1 Trillion dollars worth???
Eventually this will collapse, and take out the good programs with the bad. In fact, taking out the good programs and thus having inflicting "pain" on society is how the government can justify a never ending need for new programs and more $$$.
I give up... I'm going to start looking for work in the public sector.
