Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[ajtj99]

Nice post. I have problems with my reduced tax bills the past couple of years, and a bigger problem with the way what I am paying is being blown on homeboy security and other areas that have virtually no scrutiny in the budget process.

Seriously. I can only dream of the day when we have leaders who have the greater good on their mind instead of greasing the squeaky wheels. I wish we'd have someone in the executive branch who would not be concerned about re-election during the 1st four years and would instead do the greater good. If we liked what they were doing, why would we have to be sold or bought to validate that?

While I'm dreaming, I'd also like world peace, a pony for every child, and Viagra in our municipal water supplies.

Don't even get me into how Congress likes to mandate programs for the states and localities without providing funding, or how homeboy security funds allowed our local airport to tear down a perfectly fine existing fence and install a multi-million dollar replacement that was 2-feet taller. Like that was going to make a difference to a pair of wire cutters.
