General George S. Patton was attributed with saying: "No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making other bastards die for their country." This was played out to perfection by George C. Scott in the Oscar winning 1970 movie 'Patton'.
I feel the same way when I hear and read about how we need to spend more to revive the economy. You should let the other poor bastard spend for his country -- you should be saving!
Reuters reported earlier in the month that consumer spending continues to fall and savings are increasing. That's a good thing. The public gets it, the government does not.
e won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
