All Too True
From WaPo, Big Govt Conservatives:
The nation is at war. It faces large expenses for homeland security. It is about to go through a demographic transition that will strain important entitlement programs. How can this president -- an allegedly conservative president -- believe that the federal government should spend money on the Red River National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in Louisiana? Or on the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan? The bill Mr. Bush has signed devotes more than $24 billion to such earmarked projects, continuing a trend in which the use of earmarks has spread steadily each year. Remember, Republicans control the Senate and the House as well as the White House. So somebody remind us: Which is the party of big government?
Well, the sad answer is BOTH, ever since they got their hands on our money to buy votes with. If we cannot count on these Repub guys to respect our hard-earned taxes, we cannot count on anyone. The Game is too big, and we voters are innocent pawns in their childish but fundamentally corrupt game, which is why good, decent people tend to avoid politics. They play their games: We live our lives. And in the final end, they are the suckers, not us. Email article link here.
