I seem to hear this quite often these days. Somehow, because I don't think the government should have these programs to help people :roll: , I am some sort of evil being.

I think this comes from something the Bible says about helping other people. But I think the Bible is talking about willingly giving. Not reach into your neighbor's pocket to help someone else. I think theft is just as wrong, or worse, than not helping.

When there is some program that causes some one to stay dependent on such program, that is not helping anyone. Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for life.

Before anyone bad mouths me let me tell you where I come from. For a time I had a nine month old child and a pregnant wife and we lived in a convertible with the back window broken out during a couple of months in winter. That is the bottom of the barrel I have been to but I didn't live off any government program.

there is a difference between helping a person get back on their feet and keeping them on their knees

Why does America have to save the rest of the world? Instead of building infrastructure all over the world, why not build some here and let them build their own? We spend hundreds of billions of dollars on foreign aid but the only entitlements the politicians talk about are those for Americans. Why don't we talk about that for awhile

The entitlement folks refuse to acknowledge that there is no free lunch. They DO know that but want someone else's sweat to provide for them. I'm beginning to understand why God told the Israelites, when going into the promised land, to k**l ALL of the previous inhabitants. Some will NOT receive the t***h that we call logic and the evidence from history.
They refuse to accept that if someone or something ('government') provides all their needs then they are s***es! If the government can give them what they want then government can take EVERYTHING, including life, when they're no longer useful. Government bureaucrats (un-elected) will decide who goes and who stays. That's the ugly t***h.

I guess that's why we borrow 100' s of millions to build schools, hospitals, roads, power grids etc, over seas- because americans are just too greedy

I love your plan! In addition to all you listed, it will help gov. employees understand the private economy better.
The bad part is that we will never find a way to force Congress to do it. That is so far down on their list of priorities that I doubt seriously it will happen during my lifetime.


In a fantasy world, the congress would pass a balanced budget act - wait, they did that under Clinton. I wonder what happened to it?

Every test publishes results by ethnicity.

The differences in total SAT scores by ethnicity was most extreme between Asian students (who had an average total score of 1623 out of a possible 2400) and black students (who averaged 1276, a four-point drop). Puerto Rican students averaged 1345. The national average was 1509. Top score is 800 in each of the three SAT sections.

race isn't on the test

"The real story" (as you call it) is the story made public, not necessarily the "true story". The is absolutely no reason to "honor" someone (even as great as Daly) 84 years after the fact. Having everyone in the USMC wear the same head cover as Daly doesn't really accomplish this "honor". He didn't design it, it was the uniform of the day at the time. Who knows, maybe he didn't even like that cover. There is more to this than we know, and it probably has more to do with "money" than anything else.

Yes, and that's why Humvees weren't armored out of the box. There was more money to be made retro fitting them. I mean who in their right mind would armor a combat vehicle the first time?

Name one Government Alphabet Agency that has gotten smaller over time. (In this Century, I don't mean the Freeman's Bureau). Bureacracies are cancers. Instead of elevated white cell counts, they produce elevated bureaucrat counts, which produces tomes full of useless, contradictory regulations to justify the increase in useless apparatchiks. It is a proven fact of evolutionary science that bureacrats evolved from l***hes, while losing all of that animals more endearing, positive characteristics during the process.

Exactly, that's why fbi, atf, dea etc. are not rolled into homeland. No-one wants to lose their turf and their personal bank roll. Logic has no foot hold in DC

perhaps, if conservatives became a tad more liberal and liberals could become a shade more conservative? But then, where would all the fun come from? ( not to mention the money )

The government won't pay but each service member will. I'd guess 35 bucks each. Navy changed work uniform around 73-74, from button shirts to pull over and sleak pants cut much like business pants from baggy bellbottoms, did not last. $38 a set and you paid for them.


exactly, someone pays. To whom is the money paid to?

That is precisely the arguement the Establishment Republicans use to keep themselves in office. I have said this before and I'll say it again, if you v**e for a snake simply because he is not a spider, don't be surprised when you get bit anyway. If I v**e my conscience at least I can stand before God and say I tried.


remember the story of the scorpion and the frog? Don't v**e for spiders OR snakes
