Considering the seriously stupid things we spend money on, something tells me we could've found better things to cut than national guardsmen's work week during hurricane season.

Agree. We sent billions in foreign aid but we couldn't cut that in order to keep the MB happy.

True. But the way the sequester was generally worded, there was no flexibility in how government spending accounts were cut.

I'm willing to turn the other cheek and forgive Jhhnn his trespasses. I think it's part of the human condition to get a little over-exuberant and post things without researching it properly. I know I've done it.

The statement I just made is what distinguishes me from Jhhnn, because he will give no quarter and will call you out for just breathing. Some people may think that when he does that kind of stuff it's just him being a dick or that he does it because his partisan opinions are so strong. But I don't think it's because of his opinions.

Oh, and he linked to a blog. Just let a rightie try that and see what happens...

Small government is the way OP. Not my fault you're too stupid to understand this.

Right... and just because it's not a government, doesn't mean it's mother nature and natural law.

Strike down FED and who controls monetary policy, rates and money supply?
The people, so called free market or banking powers?
Obviously the one who cotrols the bulk of the money.

Move to Greenland if you feel you're self sufficient and don't need to be governed.
It's ridiculous that the whole idea of so called small govt(read unregulated economy) has been sold to masses by those who got rich in economy regulated by that very govt.
