WHEN did government spending start getting out of control.
ANSWER: The first time a government worker, or anyone, had government money to spend.
It was not THEIR money, it belonged to the government. And, people have been taking advantage of that situation ever since. "Oh, it doesn't matter, it's government money, the implication being that there is a limitless amount to spend, a bottomless pit of money, all, belonging to someone else. There is little to NO accountability. Spend, spend, spend.
Careless spending began the moment the government collected its first penny, and it has been going on ever since. Now we are even "carelessly" spending money that is not even ours. Much like a credit card, no accountability until it is too late.
