I have suggested it befo Hire a bunch of Wal-Mart and/or/ Home
Depot and/or Lowes and/or any number of people who have run businesses
and have them come in to clean house. *I am 100% sure they will find
tremendous inefficiencies in every government run program. *And I am
also sure that they can define processes and procedures that will
drastically reduce the waste and inefficiencies and the nest result
will be a huge amount of money that can actually be given back to the
citizens of this country. *That way, the programs that are already in
place will do what they were intended to do, the liberals get what
they want, and everybody will get a little bit of money back into
their pockets.

Be careful what you wish for. *Not all of those are as efficiency minded as
you may believe. *Take Home Depot for example. *They are so focused on
customer satisfaction right now that they will and are, giving away the ship
to gain those customer satisfaction scores. *Sure - there is a profit to be
gained in that, but no efficiency expert would recommend the imbalance
they're pursuing. *When imbalanced ideals become part of the strategy,
private enterprise does not look a lot different than government practices.
Lowes has done a marvelous job of deferring costs - in typical governement
ways, so they're not much better than the government. *At least to Home
Depot's credit, they operate on cash. *They do not have inventory lines of
credit, etc. *Maybe there is a lesson that can be learned there...

Wal-Mart then? LOL!

What I am trying to convey is to clean up what is there. Let the
things that are already there operate the way they are supposed to;
don't add another piece of entitlement that is a major drain on the
finances of the citizens of this country.

I am absolutely sure that we can find the money and solutions already
in laws that already exist--the trick is to go back and get rid of all
the BS. Sure, some of the recipients will bark but too many people
think if even one person is inconvenience, then you cannot do what you
want to do. Well, um, unless that inconvenience is paying taxes.

What is being side-stepped in all these strings is the fact that
personal responsibility is out the door. Entitlement is the name of
the game. And a government who can increase the number of tax
recipients who are funded by the backs and money of the remaining tax
payers will be totally in control. Both the tax recipients and the
tax payers will become slaves and we are back in the middle ages or
living in the U.S.S.R.

You know, there is a guy here who was born and raised in the U.S.S.R.
and lived there both before and after the Berlin Wall fell. He got
the heck out of there because he was sick of the lack of liberty for
the people and because there was no way for him to get out of the
poverty he was mired in (because he happened to be born on the wrong
side of the tracks) and came over here the first chance he got. He
has been here for years now and he shakes his head and said the exact
reasons he left Russia to escape are being implemented here. Now
Dymitri is a left-leaning individual (gee, I wonder why?) but even he
says we are quickly becoming a socialist society and he is not a happy
pup.
