@PDWriter @tjbate2000 @tonywestonuk you don't decide - the market tells you.

productivity equals GDP produced per dollar spend on labor.

Dramatic increases over the past 30 years due to tech. ... well except for government, they just keep increasing spending at the same productivity levels.

@joni_askola then why would he want a smaller government?

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@CTULocal1 let me guess - you want more.

and you want to take it from him.

because he's the greedy one.

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@CTULocal1 Subsidies? that's a stretch.

and it rings hollow coming from a subsidized and unionized industry...

Welcome back from your Covid-funded vacations.

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@RepMcGarvey Wow! That's got to be the best return to society on a government subsidy ever.

Let's evaluate all the OTHER billions of government subsidies against this baseline.

@greendragonhq Historically, this country was founded in revolt of taxation by a government which provided too little value in exchange.

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@EdMarkey Why aren't you already doing that?

You collect 100 times that amount from taxpayers EVERY YEAR.

(5 times his entire net worth, every year)

Our government has failed us.

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@ZaidJilani Every single one of these individuals have these amounts deployed to "so that the economy could grow more, hire more, and invest more."

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@tonyannett If this were true, government should have solved this problem decades ago.

They spend 70x that amount ($7 trillion) EVERY YEAR.

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@RoKhanna Then reel in excessive government deficits and money printing.

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@MadeySiyad @ewarren use AI to cut government and benefit everybody.

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@ewarren We should use AI to replace government services.

Then you don't need any additional taxes.

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@RoKhanna Where do you invest your family's capital ?

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@RoKhanna Any numbers?

How much has the Gov't invested in Education since 1979 (Dept of Education initiated by Carter) ? What happened to prices of education?

What about healthcare since 2010 (Obamacare initiated by Obama?)? Price of healthcare?

How has private capital performed?

[Ryan Berryman @ryandb]

@McFaul Spending would be wasteful - that's government thinking.

People with those resources should invest in growing companies instead.

@Ryan_Crosswell Taxpayers didn't fund SpaceX development.

Elon Musk should be thanks for providing your retirement.

If you have any interest in pensions, 401K or any other legitimate investment in SpaceX - I will gladly assume all of the investment and the associated returns to your portfolio.

@Heccles94 Theft is illegal.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

This is concerning. We need to stop borrowing against our children and grandchildren’s future and start balancing the budget.

@greendragonhq donating directly to charity is always better than routing it through the government grift.

@JohnJHarwood I've hired a plumber many times - smart people.

I've never hired a journalist.
