No, you know. Disagree with having to give up my hard earned money for essentially no services.
It's an inherent flaw in 'governments'. People will give 'free' stuff to get votes and then will funnel money to their cronies, accruing huge bills that must be papered over or defaulted on every so often. The losers are the people (even the ones who get the 'free' stuff) and the currencies and creditors.
Government the way it's done these days is immoral.
If you're a bank and you can take a risky bet, if you win you make big bucks, if you lose the taxpayer pays, what would you do?
And Lobbyism is a market too.
This makes no sense at all. Free markets are based on individuals making voluntary decisions. Bribing politicians to gain access to the power of the gun and theft is not in any way related.
The greek debts come from their own unwise choices.
Giving people money to spend (which comes from where?) distorts the signals to the market and causes mal-investment.
Voluntary trade.
As opposed to at the barrel of a gun.
It is better to never have tried anything than to have tried something and failed. - motto of jerks, weenies and losers everywhere
