Default OUR PRIORITIES (was The Maytag Man came by today)

In article , Larry Jaques says...

Uh, Jim. I wasn't standing up for Wally World. I was ranting
about our government chasing the wrong bad guys. Crikey, they
need to find at least SOME sense of what our priorities are.


Ah. I thought you were saying that the government
should allow them free rein to hire illegals, and
not prosecute. I think they should have their feet
held to the fire, if it's shown that they knew
what was going on.


If we stopped the wars against drugs and oil countries, if we
stopped the congressional looting, if we stopped funding the
innumerable pork projects, our government would have all the
money it needed to meet SS payments.


Ah but then we'd have another bunch of out of work
whiners, and we'd have to pay *them* welfare.

If the IRS stopped spending $10k to go after the little guy
who owed them $32.12 and started after corporations who each
owed them millions, or plugged the loopholes...

If we stopped coddling the AMA to focus on preventive medicine...

If the gov't stopped funding elections and used public pots
(donations anonymous) which were distributed evenly to each
eligible delegate...


Umm. OK, I think I get where you're headed on this.
I don't think there will be much dissent here!

Jim
