Why does government just keep spending and spending?

Question

Why does government just keep spending and spending?

Answer 1

Because there are millions of people who have wants and needs.  You will not think that these are needed but others do.

Example: I think that the Arts promote world peace, and should be funded.

My neighbors says Art should support itself, but the local NFL needs a new stadium. and they will leave the area if they don't get it. They need government help.

His neighbor says Football is a business and should pay there own way.

The highway that he takes to work needs to be widened so that it is easier to get to work.

The next guy says i never use that road. It is no big deal to take a little longer for you to get to work, what I want is a new school for my kids.

This goes on millions of times.

Answer 2

To enable their ministers to earn commissions.

Answer 3

Because we let them.

Answer 4

Because the Republican Party.. the PARTY OF THE DEFENSE AND OIL INDUSTRIES want to see all their chronies make as much graft and corruption money as they can before the GOP get's tossed out on their crooked ears for another 20 years or so.

Answer 5

How else do you think the country will progress unless all the government infrastructure is built and maintained and replaced when necessary, let alone all the countless other things to benefit the whole population. It can only spend in accordance to their budgetary planning. It is not an endless money supply by itself, and if business does not prosper, then the government's money supply falls.

You should consider it a real privilege to pay taxation in accordance to your income.

Answer 6

Because millions on welfare depend on your paycheck.
