Re: Obama XXII: Occupy the White House
There are some govt programs that have the potential to pay for themselves or largely so. Education increases peoples productivity, salary income and therefore taxes paid. Without education...we'd be thrown back to the stone ages. Could the private sector conduct eduction? Yes, but unlikely little more than the cherry picking it does today...it has no interest in educating the less affluent half of the population.
Some govt programs have no potential to pay for themselves. Indeed we could shave billions off the military budget and it would only help the country's bottom line.
