If the money hadn’t been confiscated from us in taxes, we’d have it to spend OURSELVES on goods and services. Duh!

Except I don’t want to your crappy goods and services.
I do, however, want to short-sell the financial institution that was dumb enough to give you the business loans you are going to default on when there is nobody left to purchase your crappy goods and services.

Who said anything about MY goods and services? I don’t think you read my post very clearly.
My point was, government employee spending is NOT keeping the economy afloat. The taxes that support those employees was confiscated from other people that most assuredly were just as capable as spending the money–on the same things that the public sector employees are buying.
