Jim, the wastes of government spending and hiring too many government red tape people add to the amounts needed to raise. So, yes, we can blame government for being as greedy as anyone if not more. Besides the general elections, we have no say as to who gets hired for what. Too many heads and vice heads of this and that, leads to more money needed to pay them and their sometimes wasteful spendings.

Power, control and money. All supplied and endorsed by us all if we do nothing about it. What to do? I wish I knew. Like telling the owners of a big company we work for how to do things. The only things that seemed to work to some degree are boycotts or revolution. But eventually, the heads at the top of the class are just like the ones previous people revolted against.

We the people seem to do very little anymore. Too much to keep us occupied, I guess, like facebook and video games.

With other prices being high, there is little left to pay for just about any price of gas here. So, as low as it might seem to you, it is not low for us, given the prices of the staples and housing.
