Happy Cost of Government Day

Happy cost of government day!! Up until today all the money you, the average American, has earned this year covers your share of the cost to operate the government (federal, state and local) for the year. Many of you remember that this year’s Tax Freedom Day was April 13th. What accounts for this difference? The deficit! The government spends almost 75% of the income all Americans earn in one year. That leaves 25% to be spent elsewhere and some wonder why the economy is where it is. Most of our elected officials think that government needs to spend even more to fix the economy.

Isn’t it time to ask if we really need this much government?
Isn’t it time to cut the spending?
Isn’t it time for some reason?
