Republicans running the federal government believe, "You are on your own to buy your own health care, to buy your own retirement security ... to buy your own roads and levees," Obama said, referring to flood barriers that gave way in New Orleans during Katrina last August."
What, entrust the people to buy something they need? Suggest that the government not provide for everything? Why would anyone want the people to take care of themselves? Why, God, Why?
Sensible Mom may have struck upon the answer:
Then how does Obama explain the medicare prescription bill, the education bill, the money the federal government has historically earmarked for levees in New Orleans (that local officials used for other pet projects)...?
I believe it was P.J. O'Rourke who said that governments and money were like whiskey, car keys, and teenage boys; perhaps an inevitable combination, but nevertheless not one that should ever be encouraged.
