Is there a Successful Government Program, Anywhere?

Oh, Tink!

Start with waste under Bush, and go on from there:

The two biggest problems are:

1) When government gets something right, they keep screwing with it until it's broken.

2) When government gets something wrong, they never, ever admit it...they just keep funnelling money into it.

Another, is that they never should have unionized government workers. To say that government workers need unions, is to say that the government is inherently corrupt...and as far as their workers go, they are not.

A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you're talking real money.

To paraphrase Everett Dirksen.

Pretty sad, ain't it.
