Government Money

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/theres-no-such-thing-as-government-money/

The linked article talks about the concept of government money, but I believe she does not take it far enough. She is right that there is no such thing as government money, but never says what it is:

It is our money.

Government is an institution created by and for the people. It cannot exist without us. All that it has, it has gained from us.

So every time a person votes for more entitlements, what they're doing is taking more of their paycheck and throwing it at other people - and they're trusting that a bloated beaurocracy can do it better, more efficiently, and more discriminatingly than they, an individual, can.

How brilliant, and how demonstrably untrue.
