WW, I have tried to explain the simple economics of government spending to Hound multiple times and from different perspectives and I can tell you she just will not allow it to sink in. It would crumble her world view. I have tried to explain that taxes on corporations is still a tax on an individual. I have tried to explain why a government job is not comparable to a private sector job in terms of spurring the economy (if it were why don't we all work for the government). I have tried to explain to her that the private sector can create 5 to 10 times more jobs for the same cost that the government creates one. I have tried everything I can think of.

Sometimes with her I feel like a dog who beats its head against the wall because it will feel good when it stops. Maybe I should stop.
