   JB> If the extra money stays in the system then the government decides   
   JB> who  gets the excess.  If the government returns the money to the   
   JB> people,   
      
      
   ML>since when?   
      
      
   JB> then the people decide.  The choice for me is easy.  I trust the   
   JB> people  over the government to make wise decisions with their   
   JB> money.   
      
      
   ML>once it is given to the government, it is the government's money to do   
   ML>with as it sees fit... once it is out of your hands, it is "out of your   
   ML>hands"... think about it ;)   
      
      
      
   Thats like saying once the money is in the bank robber's hands, it is their   
   money to do with as they see fit!   
      
      
   It isn't *the government's money*! Its *OUR* money! Without *US*.....the   
   government wouldn't have any money!   
      
      
   The money they throw away in `big digs'.....or `bridges to nowhere' is *OUR*   
   money. The money they throw away to foreign countries so they'll `like' us is   
   *OUR* money.   
      
      
   The money they are talking about when they use the phrase *he can bring home   
   the bacon* to denote some political figure who regularly secures money for   
   some boondoggle for his or her state.....thats *OUR* money.   
      
      
   The money they are paying out every month to lay-abouts who don't work, but   
   spend their time playing on expensive computer systems (paid for with *OUR*   
   money), living in subsidized housing...and recieving free medical care...   
   thats *OUR* money.
