But, your comment 'The government is paying' and 'if it's free will you do it' are way out of it. When the government pays, or it's 'free to you' is never true. The government is U and I, not some magic tree that grows dollars. Altho some administrations seem to think that.
Would you care to look up and post the numbers that show which administrations "seem to think that"/most grow the debt our grandchildren owe?We pay, our kids pay, our grandkids pay. It might be progress and it might be improvements, but we all pay for it whether we use it or not.
I have heard this for at least half a century. When it comes to environment, a honest look would see bullsnot. Remember Love Canal? Times Beach? Burning rivers? Without government spending and regulations most of the country would be as polluted as Superfund sites by now. Most of the people that worry about the dollar cost of
of reducing emissions can't look at the cost of wildfires, floods, and storms, let alone our children and grandchildren's quality of life behind our destruction.
Veterans Health Care is not free, Public Health Care is not free.
We have no issues with government spending for the benefit of our citizens and protecting our earth. Just disagreeing with the fact so many folks think it's free just because the Feds write the check.
It's not free, it comes from our tax money and federal fines. It's part of our federal budget, collected from working taxes and-or operating permit fees, or sometimes surplus sales that we originally bought. We pay, it's not free. The government does not earn money for us to pay its bills.
