Coming San Diego Govt Layoffs

So, the government may do the other 27% efficiently and call it “productivity” when it is not, in fact, needed activity. That’s my point.

Within a public office, things may move along well, but the question of “what the hell are they doing with my 9% state income tax and 7.75% sales tax?” rings pretty loudly.

One thing I will admit is that the govt has a strong tendency to waste, and there is a lot of fat at the top (bureaucrats/administrators/wannabe politicians, etc.) that needs to be trimmed.

Also, government employees on all levels, tend to think there is a money tree in every backyard and often don’t understand where the money comes from. When I worked in the public sector (education), I made a conscious effort to minimize waste and unnecessary spending, on a daily basis. There is much that can be done there, IMHO.

My apologizes, I simply tried to find something simple enough for you to understand. And you may have noticed that the Fed’s role is *clearly* mentioned, which I do not dispute.

There have been asset bubbles throughout history that predate the Federal Reserve. One of the most famous books on asset bubbles was written in 1841 in fact!

Your argument doesn’t hold any water.

If the housing bubble was an act of arson, the Fed provided the gasoline, the free market the house and Wall Street lit the match. That act would have been impossible without the full co-operation of all parties. Laying the blame exclusively on one participant simply is not accurate.
