Just Some Questions While Listening to the State of the Union Address?

Just Thoughts that Came to Mind Last Night as I watched the SOTU from President Obama.

Here is a simple thought from last night's SOTU; Who does a better job handling the nation's money; the people or the government?  

When has our nation worked best?  When government was taking more of our money or less of our money?

Should there be a moratorium on spending until we get some semblance of control over our debt?

Was there one proposal in the President's SOTU last night that made each citizen more independent, and gave them back more freedom, and keep more of what they earn?

Were there specific courageous proposals last night that dealt with the true pressing issues of our time?

How does the Middle Class get stronger if you enable the so-called poor to remain dependent and demonize the so-called Rich of Society?

Does government create jobs?

Our governmental representatives in the Executive and Legislative Branch don't seem to be able to answer these questions.  CAN YOU?
