Cash for Consumerism

About 33 percent of you reading this (the same number of citizens who think the country is headed in the right direction) are thinking to yourselves that all I ever do is rant about this administration and how they are taking this country in the wrong direction.

That is simply not true. There are a number of things this government does very well. The U.S. military is the finest in the world and it is government-run. OK, not "run," funded. Well, OK, maybe run as well. The job of the military is to break stuff and ours is the very best at doing that.

It is my concern that all the other government-managed programs, which our taxpayers fund, are very good at destroying stuff as well. The railroad. The post office. Medicare. Medicaid. Freddie and Fannie.
