11/05/09 Stockholm, Sweden – The government’s poured trillions of dollars into rescuing the economy and there’s still not a new job in sight. The problem on the horizon is all too clear.
When the time comes for the US to refill its coffers there’s going to fewer workers to pass the hat around to… an unfortunate state of affairs.

The cartoon is true, not just in US. The alternatives on how the goverment covers their expenses perhaps by using fines. It is wierd that we have to park in the airport(s) because it is the law otherwise we can get fine 15,000$ minimum. It is a freewill everybody and which one do you want to choose. You always can choose not to get the fine. It seems establishing new laws impossing taxes and penalties are much easier than producing an employment opportunities. Then if we really do not have money to comply, well perhaps debt could be the wise solution. I have no idea how this world works now. Never vote stimulus, did not get the stimulus, but need to work hard so that with taxation, the wasted stimulus costs can be recovered. My bad.
