It's a lost cause to complain about wasteful government spending. It may take Civil War II to rectify an abusive, out-of-control government.

Just take a look at how nature works. If there are too many squirrels and not enough food for the winter, you don't have to pass any legislation to fix the squirrel problem. The squirrels will simply die from starvation and the squirrel population will go back to a sustainable level. If our government can't or won't handle the economic crisis now, it will be handled simply by natural events. Millions may starve or die from social anarchy. And a new form of government may evolve.

I didn't say the cure would be a happy one. But there will be a cure even if our government fails to act.

In a Libtard area, a Zoo will have an exhibit with animals, and give their species, habitat, information on their diet and variations of the species. Then, a flowery poem about how happy they were, living in the wild - avoiding predators, facing starvation, disease, injury and trying to to survive day by day.

In a Southern area, a Zoo will have an exhibit with animals, and give information on their species, habitat, infromation on thei diet and variations of their species. Then, on a separate placard will be recipes on how to fix them.

You are right about that. Any conservative who lists of wasteful spending projects is missing the big picture. Any time you have a massive government, it is going to spend money on silly things. Even if alleged "conservatives" run it (go back to the 2002 through 2006 Era when the GOP controlled everything and you'll find silly, wasteful spending).

The issue is the size of government, period. The entire thing needs to be cut back--each and every department, entitlements, everything. Once it is scaled back the silly spending will diminsh and perhaps even be eliminated.

Focusing on "earmarks" and wasteful projects like zoo poetry gets the average American thinking that if we just eliminated them, we'd balance the budget. That is the biggest lie going.
