At least with Republicans, we have some chance of a limited government. I'm hoping McCain/Palin can bring us some of that.VHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02070864512034930080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529134976992185947.post-81672793197227529672008-09-02T21:32:00.000-07:002008-09-02T21:32:00.000-07:00Thus giant government bureaucracies like the VA, M...Thus giant government bureaucracies like the VA, Medicare, the Dept of Education and so on are the picture of efficiency since they have been around under save the world, big government Dems as well?Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415598500147558589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529134976992185947.post-42486289377375638912008-09-02T10:45:00.000-07:002008-09-02T10:45:00.000-07:00The issue isn’t just about the qualification of th...The issue isn’t just about the qualification of the person holding the “top job,” it’s the inefficient bureaucracy and the great expense of the program. We have a societal myth that all needs will be met if the right person is in power, as if this person will come riding on a white horse to save us from disaster and from ourselves. Ron Paul would have gutted FEMA if he ever had a chance to become President.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment.VHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02070864512034930080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529134976992185947.post-84825404112791050522008-09-02T04:42:00.000-07:002008-09-02T04:42:00.000-07:00I would call giving the top job at FEMA to a horse...I would call giving the top job at FEMA to a horse racing judge (who had been fired) small government--at least small thinking.<BR/><BR/>Our infrastructure in this nation is crumbling because our tax dollars are being spent on programs to give subsidies to oil companies and to feather the nests of a few.<BR/><BR/>No Child Left Behind has done just that.
