ReplyDeleteAlan, Unfortunately, the cost for all of the Kool Aid I would consume (if I consumed Kool Aid, enhanced or unenhanced with other chemicals) would come out of my own pocket.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I do feel that the government of a modern civilized country does have some obligation to support public transport, public health and other such programs. You want to cut something? That's fine with me. But look first to Ronnie Reagan's Airborne Movie Fantasies and Dubya's Christian Abstinence Programs (see above).
Alan, If your beef with GWB is about the amount he spends and you've never clicked on one of those little "Cost of War" counters that you see on many liberal blogs and other sites, it might be instructive to do so.
ReplyDeleteI think he spends too much too, but more importantly, he spends our money on the wrong things. As with our personal family budgets, it's a question of priorities.
