The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

The combined city, county, state and federal governments along with all their supporting agencies,
are not only the largest polluters, but they also employ 25% of all working Americans.

Most of the companies listed above are suppliers to the government and their associated conglomerate.

The federal government alone spends over a half billion dollars on fuel for strictly federally owned/leased vehicles.

The US military is the biggest employer in the world. It has over 3.2 million employees.

Plus it has another million subcontractors.

Over $500,000,000,000.00 is subcontracted by the Fed alone.

That's a half trillion dollars for those that can't count that high.

Only 50% of the money set aside for these contracts actually make it to the subcontractors.

The government itself eats the other 50% managing the money.

Just a couple more government agencies and we will be able to fix the world.

Now Obama wants to make a government agency to rate educational institutions so
students will be able to shop around for the best value.

Why don't we just lay all the cards on the table and create the
Department of Every Single Person's Business Affairs And Life Decisions.

They can choose your career, your health needs, your reproductive options,
your retirement, your spouse and your religious needs, while also managing
your credit and your home finances.
