    I can't think of a single better reason to shrink the size of government by 50%. Who let this happen? Did they get fired? I doubt it. If that was the private sector, the responsible party would get fired toot sweet. This is the real crux of the problem with big bloated government is the lack of accountability for those in charge. They can screw up like this year after year and nothing ever happens to them, the finish their tenure in the job looking at internet porn and retire with a big fat pension while taxpayers take it in the wallet for their cavalier attitude about their job.

    Good find Peabody. If they just saved all that money from the waste fraud and abuse you've found for six years they could pay for one day of Bush's phoney war in Iraq! Awesome!

    It wouldn't even come close to one day's waste in the Stimulus.

    Seriously. We all (the sane ones in the room anyway) know that Bush messed up the financial track in this country, Obama has just stepped on the accelerator, but we need to start fixing the (*)(*)(*)(*)inng problems and stop with the "your guy did worse than my guy".

    No wonder we are in a tail spin.

    That's why I believe in term limits, a MAX of 8 years for both houses.

    Inphormer's position on spending is that until we can turn back the clock and avoid a war that he doesn't like then the crazy Democrats must be allowed to waste as much money as they want to.

    Yes but unfortunately none will vote themselves out of a job. :mad: I had my congressman's attention a few weeks ago one on one and I really wished I had thought to ask his take on it. :mad:

    Oh come on Professor, this is just part of Obama's stimulus plan.


    Can't wait to hear the liberal defense of this government (*)(*)(*)(*) up.

    If those dead people voted then they deserve to get paid on the "we reward our friends" program. Now we need to know if they all voted.
