Government Meddling Is A Recipe For Disaster

If Buckwheat was President he might have some
signs made up that say "Cil The Reech!" (That's
kill the rich.)

After finishing watching the news this morning
and reading a couple of newspapers, it's really
clear the government is good at one thing in particular,
and that is wasting your money.

The Democrats in Congress have already outspent
their Republican colleagues, and want to lift the
ceiling on spending for the second time. It is no
mean trick to have outspent the Republicans, who
spent more money than anyone in history up to this
point, but the Democrats are up to the task, and this
is without universal health care, and the myriad of
other programs the Democrats are proposing.

Meanwhile, the Coast Guard scraps eight ships at
a cost of over several hundred million because the
firm they hired to do the retrofitting failed to make the
ships seaworthy.

Then there is the ethanol debacle. Corn based ethanol
was always a bad idea, except to environmentalists.
With oil at $110 a barrel, corn ethanol has to be
subsidized to compete with oil, and it has sent food
prices through the roof.

Dumb de dumb dumb.

Those taxpayer refunds are due soon, a fix for
an economy that wasn't in nearly as much trouble
as everyone thought. When the jobless rate drops
to 4.95% it's time to pay attention.

Bush has maintained that the country is not in
a recession, in spite of all the genius economists
and media pundits. I think he is right on this, and
it's the first thing I've agreed with him on in quite a while.

We need to remember an old rule.

If the government can do it, we can do it better,
faster, and a helluva lot more efficiently.

The FAA, (Federal Aviation Administration), can't
even do safety checks on airplanes without causing
airlines to shut down for days.

The Office of the Attorney General says that illegal
aliens standing on the street are not committing a crime.

Duh?

Private enterprise always has been, and will continue
to be, the salvation of this country.

From the big saddle,
