Under the plan, washers could use only 3.1 gallons of water for a

The department of energy is just one of numerous governmental
agencies that have long ago out lived their usefulness. That's
assuming they served a purpose to begin with. The market is more
than capable of determining what characteristics are desirable for a
given product. Don't even get me started on how useful the EPA,
Dept of Labor, Dept
of education and Dept of HUD are. Not to mention the VA. Now you
really got me ****ed off!

Thanks, Oren!


And what's your problem with the VA ? You don't believe veterans
deserve the services they provide ?
I mean , say a guy got exposed to Agent Orange while serving in
Vietnam , you don't think his health problems from that should be
treated ? Or the guy that got a leg and an arm blown off by an IED in
Iraq should bear his own health care costs ?


Right wing government haters HATE that some of us feel the US owes it
to their vets to fully finance the VA to meet the demands from Bush's
wars.


Well , Bob , I'm a hell of a lot closer to the right than left , and I
sure don't hate that ... and I think you'll find a lot more vets from the
Vietnam era than the later "wars" . While I think there's a lot of shrinking
needed in our government , I don't think that's an area that it's needful
.... welfare , now that's another story , along with some of the engorged
alphabet agencies .
